Want a better grasp on robotics? Build your own adjustable wearable mechanical hand! This hands-on activity will help you explore hydraulics, pneumatics, and robotics by building your very own giant hydraulic hand! Using over 200 plastic pieces and piston tubes, you’ll build an awesome water-powered mechanical hand. This cyborg hand uses hydraulic power to simulate the movements of the human hand—no motors or electricity required! Once assembled, the wearable cyborg hand can slip onto your own hand like a glove, with mechanical fingers that you operate with your own movements. Challenge yourself to pick up and hold small items or even try to write with a pencil! The hand can be configured in three ways—left hand, right hand, and claw-like, with the thumb in the center. Cyborg hand can be adjusted to fit virtually all hand sizes. The 40-page, full-color manual guides model building and experimentation. Plus, it provides engaging scientific information about how pneumatic and hydraulic systems are used in industrial robots to assist with a variety of tasks in our modern world. 13” x 10” x 4 ½”. 16” adjustable hand. Plastic. Ages 7+. Imported.
