Step right up and test your luck! The Candy Claw Machine is here for you to see if you can grab a bunch of candies. It's a great STEM challenge that helps you develop motor skills and engineering know - how. Build a working model of the classic arcade claw machine. It's that exciting, sometimes annoying, but always fun game where you use a remote - controlled claw to grab prizes in a limited time. Cranks, gears, and belts move the claw arm horizontally and vertically. Hydraulic levers control the up - and - down movement and the opening and closing of the claw. If you succeed, a spring - loaded trap door will shoot out the collected candy. Time yourself or your friends to see if you can get a specific item within a set time. No batteries or electricity needed; it runs on your hand power and the mechanical advantage of built - in components. You can choose from three different claw shapes (what roboticists call “end effectors”) to find the best one for picking up different candies or prizes. Learn how gears, levers, belts, screws, hydraulics, linkages, cranks, and claws work together to handle prizes. Try different gear ratios to speed up or boost the power of your claw. The set comes with 6 lollipops (Saf - T - Pops) and decoy candy boxes. You can also fill it with your favorite small candies, toys, or other small items. This game is excellent for improving dexterity and hand - eye coordination. It's an innovative take on a robotic arm with sweet rewards! Build your own arcade - style claw machine with included lollipops and decoy boxes. Experiment with three types of claws: pincher, scoop, and three - pronged. Learn about hydraulics, levers, gears, belts, linkages, and end effectors. Enjoy engineering lessons in a fun, gamified way with candy rewards. Refill the machine with your own treats for endless fun. Suitable for ages 10 and up.
Using the Candy Claw Machine is easy. First, choose the claw shape that you think will work best for the candies or prizes you want to grab. Then, use the cranks, gears, and belts to move the claw arm left, right, forward, and back. The hydraulic levers are for moving the arm up and down and opening and closing the claw. Try to time your moves well so you can grab a prize within the limited time. Remember, no batteries or electricity are needed, just use your hand to operate it. When you manage to grab a prize, the spring - loaded trap door will shoot it out for you. As for filling the machine, you can use the included lollipops and decoy boxes, or add your own small candies, toys, or other items. For maintenance, keep the machine clean and dry. Check the gears, belts, and levers regularly to make sure they are moving smoothly. If there are any loose parts, tighten them up gently. Also, store the machine in a safe place when not in use. This machine is suitable for kids aged 10 and up, so make sure younger kids are supervised when using it.
