RoboRails: The Robot Monorail System

Explore the future of transportation with RoboRails! This compact robot balances on a single wheel and glides along a monorail track thanks to its fast-moving internal gyroscope and monowheel. A clever design uses ball bearings as the gimbal weights, which is nearly frictionless as it spins. You’ll be amazed at how steady this robot is on the track! The full-color, 32-page manual guides you through a step-by-step assembly of the robot and dozens of track layouts from over 180 durable plastic parts. Choose any of the 26 configurations in the manual, or use your imagination to invent your own! Combine the snap-together track segments with the three special connectors –  the seesaw, the splitter, and the cross switch – to add twists, turns, and obstacles to your routes.  Features & Benefits: Build a robot that zooms along a monorail track using a motorized gyroscope unit Clever ball-bearing weight system reduces friction in the gyroscope, allowing the robot to stay balanced for longer Track segments are quickly and easily reconfigured into countless possibilities  Open-ended design promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, imagination, and creativity
