Step right up and try your luck! Do you have what it takes to grab a claw-full of candy with the Candy Claw Machine? Experiment to develop your motor skills and engineering chops to conquer this awesome STEM challenge. Build a working model of the classic claw machine - that enticing, sometimes frustrating, and always fun arcade game in which you try to grab prizes from inside the machine with a remote-controlled claw in a limited amount of time. Cranks, gears, and belts move the claw arm left and right, and forward and back. Hydraulic levers move the arm up and down, and open and close the claw. A spring-loaded trap door shoots the collected candy out at you if you manage to succeed. Time yourself or your friends and see if you can retrieve a specific object in a given amount of time. No batteries or electricity are required - it uses only the power of your hand and the mechanical advantage of the machines built into the device. Choose from three different claw shapes (cool nerdy roboticists call these "end effectors") and find the one that works best to pick up a particular candy or prize. Learn how the gears, levers, belt, screws, hydraulics, linkages, cranks, and claws all work together to pick up, move, and drop prizes. Experiment with different gear ratios to speed up or power up your claw. Packed with 10 lollipops (Saf-T-Pops) and decoys (fake candy boxes), you can also fill it with whatever small candies, toys, or other small objects you like. The game itself is great for honing dexterity skills and hand-eye coordination. An innovative take on a robotic arm with something really worth grabbing! + Build your own arcade-style claw machine that grabs lollipops and decoy candy boxes (both included). + Experiment with three different types of claws (pincher, scoop, and three-pronged). + Learn about hydraulics, levers, gears, belts, linkages, end effectors, and more. + Fun, gamified approach to engineering lessons with a sweet candy reward + Refill your machine with your own treats and prizes for long-lasting fun.
Build a gravity-defying robotic bug that can climb smooth surfaces!t Conduct simple physics experiments with air pressure and suction. Durable, easy-to-assemble plastic building system. Compact design is fun and functional Includes 8-panel, full-color manual with step-by-step illustrated instructions; assembly and troubleshooting videos available online

<span itemprop="name">Terrible, would never recommend</span>
<span itemprop="description">Impossible to put together in a way that works. Got it to semi-work (but never completely) with much fiddling and additional suggestions online -- and this with an engineer parent helping. Read the reviews, would never recommend. Would give 0 stars if possible</span>

<span itemprop="name">Terrible</span>
<span itemprop="description">This was fun to put together (I had fun…… theres no way my kids could put this together!)
But with the hydraulics constantly leaking it just does not function at all and the kids were sad.</span>

<span itemprop="name">My son loves this but…</span>
<span itemprop="description">My 7yr old son received this for Christmas. Definitely need a parent to help set it up. Especially the hydraulic system. Which is finicky and after several tries it still leaks so the claw system doesn’t work. The seals aren’t good enough quality to hold the water pressure without letting air in. It useless with out the hydraulics working. My son was disappointed we couldn’t get it working the first time. I have sent a support email to the manufacturer so hopefully they respond with a solution. This took more than 2 hrs to setup even with an adult assisting.</span>
