Thames & Kosmos 620301 TAK620301 Gyrobot Toy, Multi-colored, Standard

Product Information

The Stag kept Gyrobot pinned for a short time, before letting it go, and Gyrobot drove into the arena centre. Gyrobot was then pushed into Sir Killalot and flipped over by The Grim Reaper, before getting pushed out of the CPZ by Sir Killalot and being slammed into an angle grinder by its opponent. At the start of the battle, the other three competitors charged together, but Gyrobot initially held back, driving around The Stag and Shell Shock as its spinning body got up to speed.

Experiment with getting the robot to walk on different surfaces: a tightrope, on a solid tabletop, on a soft surface, and even on your arm! Explore the physics behind this scientific device through five unique experiments that investigate gravity.

The weapon consists of the thirty-five kilo outer ring spinning at 750rpm, but lack of experience could count. You can also experiment with the balancing behaviour of the motorised gyroscope by itself, testing its ability to balance on its edge, on your finger, on a pole, and dangling from a string. Battle it out in style and show off your spinning prowess while injecting a little robot-inspired fun into your day.

Fluffy drove towards it, this time being more cautious - instead of crashing into Gyrobot's spining body, Fluffy slowed as it approached, driving around Gyrobot, then hit it with the spinning bar. The Stag drove around Gyrobot, and Gyrobot tried to damage the immobile Scrap Dragon, until The Stag drove back at it. Experiment with getting the gyrobot to walk on the different included tracks and on a string, investigate the gyrobot’s centre of gravity, play a ring-toss game and watch the gyrobot spin on a flat surface. In 2002, Gyrobot would compete in the 2002 Roaming Robots event at Gaydon, competing in at least one match as it faced both S3 and Kan-Opener in a melee.

After the Seventh Wars, Gyrobot was upgraded to spin and accelerate faster, also gaining studded wheels and an improved battery life, with the intention of entering another series of Robot Wars. Build a robot that walks along a tightrope thanks to a motorised gyroscope unit – it will even walk along your arm! For its attempted entry into Series 9, Steve Wood recruited three new members of Team Gyrobot in 2016, including 3D print designer Damian Axford, although these team members would ultimately not get the chance to compete on Robot Wars. Instead, they must be delivered to a collection location for recycling of electrical and electronic devices.

Gyrobot drove away, staying away from its opponents by the bottom of the arena to get its spinner up to speed, spinning on the spot to do even more damage. Coding is easily implemented by snapping the coding buttons into the wheel and having the robot perform its basic functions – go forward, backwards, turn and spin etc. Thanks to the easy to follow approach, coding and performing the tasks (such as throwing, lifting, kicking or drawing) become more interesting and challenging as the user’s skills increase.Kids ages 6+ can build a cute robot, whose main component is a gyroscope, and watch it walk across a tightrope without falling off! Gyrobot first entered the design and build phase in December 2000, with an initial view to entering Series 5.

When the battle started, Gyrobot immediately backed away from The Grim Reaper as the latter charged in to flip it, momentarily causing it to spin on its rim, before struggling to drive away from an angle grinder. Gyrobot hit the front lifter of Scrap Dragon, which reversed, rammed into the side of The Stag, which was gripping onto Shell Shock. Experienced on all aspects of 2,3,4 and 5 axis NC programming for use with various types and sizes of NC controlled milling, engraving, laser/punch machines and FDM 3D printing. Gyrobot remained operational over this period, but could not compete at live events due to the restrictions affecting spinning weapons prior to 2017.It bumped into and drove away from The Grim Reaper to try and get its weapon up to speed, driving over the Flame Pit and into Cassius Chrome in the process, before driving into the wall twice and getting flipped and pushed into Sir Killalot by The Grim Reaper once again. After Gyrobot's first round battle, the battle board incorrectly listed it as one of the robots that were eliminated, instead of Killerkat. It reached the second round in its only appearance, losing to The Grim Reaper on a Judges' decision. Gyrobot drove away as the silver box robot turned around, and span on the spot whilst trying to get its spinner back up to speed.
