Enter the ring with the Thames & Kosmos Hydraulic Boxing Robots and experience the excitement of hydraulic-powered robot boxing. This STEM kit allows you to build two boxing robots that use hydraulic power to move like real boxers. Learn about the physics, design, and components of hydraulic mechanisms, including gears, cylinders, and pistons, as you assemble and control these dynamic robots.
The kit includes all the parts needed to build two boxing robots, plus a scoreboard to challenge a friend to a match. With complex shoulder gestures, two boxing punches (jab and uppercut), three waist postures, and interchangeable heads, these robots are designed to dodge, jab, and punch with precision. Perfect for ages 8 and up, this hands-on building project introduces important physics and engineering concepts while providing hours of fun. Featured in Purdue University’s 2023 INSPIRE Engineering Gift Guide, this kit is a knockout addition to any STEM collection.
