Robotic Arm

This robotic arm is an easy to make 3 dimensional model that grabs, lifts items horizontally, and can turn very close to 90 degrees! Designed to be used alone (with a nice syringe holder), or in a group - each person using one syringe.

A great way to learn about Robotics, Levers and Simple Machines, Fluid dynamics, Engineering, and Invention, and Design and Technology - or just moving things around the house (small things, mind you - no dogs or cats, please.)

Easy to make in about an hour or two, it stretches 49 cm (16 inches) out, swings 18 cm (7 inches) around, and stands 37 cm (13 inches) high.

Best of all: no batteries required!

Great for STEM programs and perfect for home learning too!

Hydraulic Mini Excavator

Excavators are big machines that are used to dig holes and move earth, and this model uses the same principles as those used in real situations, except you use water instead of hydraulic fluid.

There are many types of excavators and this kit uses a first and third class lever to make the arm and shovel move. 

We think it provides and excellent example of how we use technology to dig things up. 

Great for kids to learn about hydraulics, levers and simple machines, and to finish small excavating projects. Simple to build in less than an hour, you need only a pair of scissors to make this fun and functional model. Best of all: no batteries required! GREAT FOR STEM PROGRAMS!

·  Easy instructions, suitable for beginner model makers.

Hydraulic Mini Platform Lift

Platform lifters are cool simple machines that are used to lift platforms horizontally.

This model uses the same principles as those in real situations, except you use water instead of hydraulic fluid much cleaner!

This kit is similar to the Cherry Picker except the platform swings freely.

Fully extended it stands over 22 cm high. This makes for some interesting fun as you can balance an object as you  raise up the platform.

Easy to assemble in less than an hour, this kit uses one hydraulic piston attached to the main arm. Great for teachers and kids to get going on the study of levers and simple machines, and a great beginning to make their own machines!

Best of all: no batteries required!

Hydraulic Mini Cherry Picker

Widely used by power and telephone companies (and anyone who wants to get a cat out of a tree) this is an excellent model showing levers and hydraulics.

Using a parallel linkage, the platform stays level all the way up and down. And it swivels side to side! Great fun for moving Lego people around, (sorry, not included).

The nice thing about the parallel linkage is that as the platform moves up and down, the people don't fall off (we think that is a nice touch!)

Easy to assemble in less than an hour, this kit uses one hydraulic piston attached to the main arm.

Best of all: no batteries required!

Lift Bridge

One of the most common types of bridges for freight trains, our Truss Design Lift Bridge is a working replica of the many lift bridges that have been made over the last 100 years.

Lift bridges became the workhorses of the freight railroads for many years as rail lines expanded over the rivers and ports of the world. The design was particularly useful in areas where there was no room for a bridge to swing, such as a busy industrial port. This bridge uses a small handle and crankshaft to lift the centre span to the top of the truss structure, allowing trolls and other vehicles to safely pass between the two ends.

The kit can be mostly made without glue and taken apart for storage. Snug slot construction and accurate cutting makes this possible!
