About the British Tank MATILDA
At the beginning of 1930, the British army made the decision to produce tanks for different roles, with production of the A12 "Matilda" beginning in 1936. At that time, the Matilda had the thickest armor at 60mm, came armed with a 2-pounder cannon, and had thick side skirts which protected the "Japanese type" bogies. Powered by two diesel engines, the Matilda had a top speed of 24km/hr which was deemed appropriate as it matched the walking speed of infantry. At the North African front, thanks to its impenetrable armor, the Matilda completely defeated the opposing Italian forces. Because of the strength of their armor, the Germans began to use 88mm guns which were the only weapons that could penetrate the Matilda. The Matilda was used throughout WWII and was also used by Soviet, Australian, and Allied forces under the Lend-Lease Act.

Tamiya ROBO 4-Legged Walking Robot with Generator 71122


Introduction
This is an assembly kit of the 4 legged robot that moves by creating electricity buy winding up the hand generator. The motor is run by electricity, but without the need for batteries since all power is created by the supplied hand crank. 4 legged walking mechanism has L-shaped front legs transmit movement to rear legs and walks with eyes and tail moving. Connection between generator unit and walking mechanism is ensured by wire harness with connector. Assembly is easy with snap-on and screw in.



Specifictions & Features
Generator unit has gear (gear ration of 38.2:1), and if winded faster, it will walk faster. Approximately 2.5V (no loading) generation is possible.

L-shaped front legs transmit movement to rear legs and walks smoothly. Long stretched eyes move left to right when its body tilt walking. Spring tail comically moves when by vibration of walking. Connection between generator unit and walking mechanism is ensured by wire harness and connector. Assembly is easy with snap-on and screw in.

When generator handle is turned right, it will move forward, and it will move backward when turned left. Also, when handle is turned slowly, walking speed will be slowed, and vice versa

Because walking speed will be changed by turning generator, it will be fun to race.
