What the heck? Okay, we’ll try to answer the obvious question, What is a Kabuto Mushi Robot? Kabuto Mushi (Rhinoceros Beetle) Robot is an infrared remote controlled robot with caterpillar traction. The infrared remote control handset has 8 channels, each channel controls 4 motors: 2 motors control directional movement: forward, backward, left and right; one motor regulates the elevating position of the claw; lastly, the 4th motor operates the open and close dimension of the claw. Incumbent of its Japanese name “Kabuto Mushi”, the Rhinoceros Beetle is tough, durable, powerful, and has the no fear attitude. This easy-to-build kit will provide students, teachers, and hobbyist (with little to no experience), a fun and informative building session.

Similar robots are currently being utilized in several rescue operations. Robots have become a useful tool to the human rescuer. Having provided valuable information such as video images at earthquake and disaster sites and data acquisition for the mobile tactical bomb squad, robots have proven themselves as a valuable asset in today’s society.

With OWIKITs, you’ll find full attention to detail, and Kabuto Mushi is no exception. The body and remote controlled handset is comprised of an elaborate set of plastic parts, hardware, motors, and circuit boards. No soldering is required for this Intermediate Experience (Ages 10+) level kit. The instruction manual is written to please educational instructors and the most discriminating parents. Discovery and cranial developmental products has enabled OWI to be a premier robotics kit provider. The user can learn about gear structure, battery wiring, motor principles, electronic circuits and circuit block diagrams, and mechanism of Kabuto Mushi. Easy to follow instructions and step by step illustrations ensure enjoyable and successful kit building. It’s ideal for robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, classroom activities, and fun plain FUN anywhere

9762 Kranius- Programmable OWI introduces the fourth generation of WAO programmable robot kits and WOW is it spectacular! WAO Kranius is a two-wheeled robot that you can program without a personal computer. The intellectual brain consists of an 8 bit micro-controller and keyboard with 33 tactile buttons. This bundle of brains can store up to 60 programming steps and 30 FOR-NEXT multiplex loops. In addition to its futuristic and powerful design, it features 6 vision sensors to see in front and below the robot. The “eyes” that enable it to see in front of itself has two infrared LEDs and an infrared detector IC. 4 floor light sensors (CdS sensor) will enable it to distinguish the contrast of light underneath its shell. Dr. Robot says this robot is more than just fun. Assembling, building, and following instructions help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Because it’s programmable, one has to plan ahead, think systematically and logically, develop problem-solving skills, and will challenge you to think creatively. Easy to assemble, this OWIKIT Intermediate building level robot makes a great entrant for robotic competitions, robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities. Specifications: Power Source: AA battery x 2 pieces & 9v x 1 piece (not included) Power usage: Max approx. 780mA | Elec Circuit Operating approx 100ma | Sleeping 1.8mA Battery duration: Approx. 2 hrs (continuous operation) | Elec circuit approx 2.5 Size: Body W145 x H85 X L140 mm | Weight 420g (w/o batteries)
