Tusenfoting (Robot)

Like them or loathe them, centipedes are fascinating things, and this enthralling new Educational Construction kit is an unerringly accurate recreation of a Japanese centipede’s slithering movement.

At around 40cm in length and with 9 pairs of legs, this is not only a highly interesting build, it will also offer many an hour of fun.

This product was developed from original research performed by Osaka University in Japan.
