Made from durable ABS and metal components, it features six-axis movement, adjustable claw and suction attachments, and a reach of over half a meter. Battery-free and designed for ages 10+, this kit offers an immersive hands-on experience in hydraulics, mechanics, and engineering principles—perfect for curious minds eager to innovate. ## Description Product Description Command All Axis of Movement with the Power of Water! Assemble a hydraulic arm powered by water and explore mechanics hands-on! Learn STEM skills by building, controlling, and experimenting with multi-directional movement. A safer, battery-free way to dive into engineering - ideal for curious creators and future innovators. So What's the Construct & Create Hydraulic Robot Arm's Main Features? 229 Parts Each with Purpose High-quality injection moulded ABS, TPE and Steel parts ensure durability and precision in every piece for a reliable build. Pistons that Stay in Place With innovative steel spring and rubber brake pad systems that hold the pistons in place, your arm will stay where you leave it. A Suprisingly Long Reach With a vertical movement of around 40 cm and horizontal movement of around 30 cm the Robot Arm has a long reach. Rigid Weighted Control Base Experience the power of hydraulics! Our piston system in weighted base, brings the robot arm to life with no batteries needed. Take a Closer Look at the Construct & Create Hydraulic Robot Arm Control Base First Hydraulic Piston Second Hydrualic Piston Central Control Rod Third Control Piston Forth Control Piston Fifth Control Piston Able to lift items up to 50 grams with precision you can control the width of the removable gripper or power of the suction cup with the first piston. With the simple push or pull of the control piston you can rotate the arm by 180° allowing you to turn the objects you pick up with ease. Use the twist and turn worm drive and cam to rotate the entire arm by 135° left and right giving you overall lateral base rotation of 270°. The third control piston allows you to move the "wrist" of the arm up and down over 90° allowing you to hold something vertically then horizontally with the push of this piston. The forth control piston allows you to move the arm via the 'elbow' by around 45° which assists in lifting and reach of the robot arm. The fifth control piston allows 'shoulder' movement of around 45° allowing for extreme movement of the overall arm. With movement made possible through the power of water, the Construct & Created Hydraulic Robot Arm has 5 primary pistons that control all six axis giving you total control for precision and accuracy. Why not explore them here. Let's Explore the Removable Gripper Attachment Grippy Fingers Pulling the first control piston allows precision movement on the gripper attachment, allowing the 'fingers' to open to around 5 cm in width. Slowly push the piston close to grip items in the foam lined fingers. Sucker Attachment Easy removal of the gripper attachment reveals the suction cup attachment, designed to lift items up to around 50 grams in weight. The second control piston allows you to rotate the arm in this position for easy movement. What age group is this kit suitable for?

Review: Fun times very much worth the effort of construction - My 8 year old daughter finally got around to opening the box and getting to the finished product in less than a day, with myself as the assistant. The play time using this thing is definitely worth effort required to get there, because there were times my daughter was losing interest and just found some assemblies needed my help. I gave here the reigns and stood to the side and did all the cutting of components from the plastic frames, which is a boring job but if you get a sharp craft knife it's not so bad. My daughter become a lot better reading the assembly instructions and identifying the components as we progressed through the different stages. It's not super complicated, but muscles are required to put the screws in tightly, and put the hydraulic tubes on. The hydraulics are super fun to setup and have working. The kit is really well designed and easy to follow. The plastic is good quality and components snap in together nicely. The different colour of the type of parts made it easy to follow what code the parts were. (pulling this thing apart and rebuilding would be tricky) The hydraulics make this piece really great to play with and understand how hydraulics work. Seeing the working in the tubes is really practical lesson about science. Way better than electric motor. On top of learning how these things work, playing around with the arm, picking up things, different shapes, using the controls is really fun to play with, it's definitely worth the money and the time to build this thing. My daughter can't stop trying to pick different toys up with this 'Claw' .Great product. Review: Takes a while to build, but a good toy model - Overall the model accomplishes what one would expect out of a STEM toy and the end product is a lot of fun to play with. It's good value for money for the size/duration of the activity and the quality of the instructions (very good manual). It took us a good weekend's effort to get it all done. There are a lot of parts and taking your time is essential as there aren't any spares. The kids and myself enjoyed putting it together, and playing with it was a lot of fun. Setting up the hydraulic pistons and tubes is a lot of fun in itself. Size: It is not very large and can easily fit in a standard book shelf Age range: It depends, but a 10year old will still need some help to complete this project - i worked with an 8 and a 12 year old on this. It needs muscle to get screws in as they are self tapping into the plastic. My 12 year old could outpace me on most other steps of assembly. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age range (description) | Adult | | Brand | CONSTRUCT & CREATE | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 52.5 x 42 x 24 centimetres | | Item weight | 500 Grams | | Size | One Size | | Theme | Robot, Sci-Fi | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** CONSTRUCT & CREATE - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 52.5 x 42 x 24 centimetres - **Size:** One Size - **Theme:** Robot, Sci-Fi ## Images ![CONSTRUCT & CREATE Hydraulic Robot Arm DIY STEM Build Your Own Project Kit Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wpmhgCvuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What age group is this kit suitable for?** A: The kit is ideal for ages 10 and up, though older kids and adults will equally enjoy putting the kit together and experimenting with it.

Take hours to assemble. *by Z***A on 5 February 2022* Product Summary: Bought for my 9 year old as a gift. The product idea is amazing, the arm work great for picking up various items, and has a suction option too. The little handles are brilliant as they teach you coordination. Like driving a tractor. Lot of fun with it, not only for kids but also adults. But bear in mind It takes at least half a day to build the robot, as every single piece has to be assembled after being removed from a plastic frame and edges cut. A lot of mini manual work and need to follow instructions precisely. It was 3 of us building and still took us hours. Si make sure you are on your day off. Pros: Value for Money, Quality, Educational, Entertaining, Great fun building, Teaches about hydraulics, Good instructions, Hours of fun playing. Cons: Parts have to be shaped and small pieces cut out, Very precision work, Very time consuming and if not done properly the water leeks out of pumps, Once built the arm need a storage, as it is a bit bulky and cant be folded away. Conclusion: Highly recommend this product.
