The Edge Robotic Arm Kit for Endless Mechanized Fun

The Edge Robotic Arm Kit will definitely not make you feel like bringing Frankenstein back to life once more, but it will certainly mean a lot of fun. This robotic arm is a neat and almost challenging toy, since it comes as a do-it-yourself kit and requires some careful work and even basic engineering knowledge. It might prove that your children aren't skilled enough to have the Edge Robotic Arm Kit built and in working condition; nevertheless, we happen to know some grown-ups who will do just the same, so there's no problem.

This desktop robot arm sports rather complex dynamics, as it can move upon no less than five axes, allowing you to execute intricate movements and obtain the maximal fun from using it.

 

And if you're a serious fan of robots, here are some tech details that should make you very happy: the Edge Robotic Arm boasts a wrist motion of 120 degrees, with a great elbow range of 300 degrees, base rotation of 270 degrees, and base motion of 180 degrees, while the vertical reach of the arm stretches at 15 inches and the horizontal one at 12.6 inches. As for the lifting power, the Edge has enough of that to lift 100 grams and move them around.

 

One very cool thing about the Edge Robotic Arm Kit is that you don't need any welding or soldering when it comes to building it; the engineers who designed it were truly smart and have come up with a project which involves a lot of fun and is truly challenging (building it takes an average of two hours), while offering even more fun in return. The Edge Robotic Arm Kit comes with a fully-functional command console and even sports an LED bulb in the gripper so you can see your workspace better in case you're on a night shift.

 

Just add in 4 D-size cells and you'll be able to start moving things on your desktop in no time. The Edge Robotic Arm Kit is suitable for small kids, but caution is advised in the building stages if you're assisted by your offspring: the robot contains small parts which... you know the rest. Finally, with a price tag of only $49.95, the Edge Robotic Arm Kit is by far one of the coolest robo toys this money can buy.
