This compact robot balances on a single wheel and glides along a monorail track thanks to its fast-moving internal gyroscope and monowheel. A clever design uses ball bearings as the weights of the gimbal, which is nearly frictionless as it spins. You’ll be amazed at how steady this robot is on the track! The full-color, 32-page manual guides you through a step-by-step assembly of the robot and dozens of track layouts from over 180 durable, plastic parts. Choose any of the 26 configurations in the manual or use your imagination to invent your own! Combine the snap-together track segments with the three special connectors – the seesaw, the splitter, and the cross switch – to add twists, turns, and obstacles to your routes. A series of hands-on experiments demonstrate important physics topics such as rotational motion, acceleration, and angular momentum, bringing the science of gyroscopic forces to life right before your eyes! Bonus: learn how these principles are an integral part of the development of monorails and green transportation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrom the Brand\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv style=\\\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0;margin:0;padding:0;line-height:0;font-size:0;\\\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/c3b21ee1-13b0-42d7-a960-02f2d4174ebd.__CR0,0,1464,625_PT0_SX1464_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/a38a5cea-5f2e-41be-9048-d35249498dce.__CR0,0,315,145_PT0_SX315_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Thames \u0026amp; Kosmos, our goal is to provide fun, wholesome, educational experiences for kids and families of all shapes and sizes!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over 200 years, our global family of companies has been refining the process of developing creative and innovative ways to inspire children—and adults!—to discover their world, ask questions, and try things for themselves, all with the goal of transforming that curiosity into knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow did we get our start?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThames \u0026amp; Kosmos was founded in 2001 when a Rhode Island science museum director and her son partnered with a 200-year-old German publishing house to fulfill the great need for science education materials that were more stimulating, effective, relevant—and of course, fun!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow do we support our products?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur full-time team of in-house product experts is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive.
