Tamiya #71126 Mechanical Swimmer 3'n'1
Equipped with underwater gearbox and submarine motor mini, the Mechanical Swimmer utilizes the motor rotation to move the legs up and down via crank arms. Furthermore, gearbox movement is also delivered to the arms through rubber bands. By changing the position of the head, arms, and legs, the robot can perform three swimming styles. Polystyrene foam is installed within the swimmer's body as a float. Flexible legs are made with 0.3mm thick soft resin and create propulsion to swim. This kit features snap-on easy assembly and requires no cement for assembly.
Depending on the position of the rudder, the robot can also swim in circles.
The robot moves arms and legs alternately to swim.
The swimmer moves arms and legs simultaneously to swim. Head position is the same as that of the crawl style.
The arm and leg movement remains same as that of Crawl style, arm positions are opposite to crawl style.
