INTRODUCTION
Leap into the future with your Robotic Arm!
With this experimental kit you can assemble a
robotic arm that can be worn. You will be able
to clutch objects and hurl discs thanks to its 2
electric motors and the mechanisms present
inside it.
Power supply: 6 VDC; batteries: 4 x 1.5V AA/LR6
Batteries not included.
ASSEMBLY TIME: the time estimated for mounting this kit is 15 to
20minutes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERVISING ADULTS:
This toy is suitable for children aged 8 years and older.
An adult should be present when the instrument is assembled and
during handling and installation of the electrical parts.

THE MOTOR OF THE GRIPPERS
The motor that drives the grippers is made up (as you can see in the image below) of two distinct parts: the
motor and the plastic block that contains a cascade of gears, namely the reducer.
A reducer is used to reduce the output rotation speed on the axis: without it, the motor would rotate too
quickly, making it impossible to use. However, this is not the only function of the reducer!
A cascade of gears like the one that we are using, by slowing down rotation, allows the motor to exert a
greater force. In this way, the Robotic Arm can also clutch heavy objects.
DISC LAUNCHER
The disc launcher has a very special combination of gears: a spring-based rack and an axis of rotation. The
rack mechanism consists of two parts: a toothed rod paired with a cogwheel.When it turns, the cogwheel
will move the toothed rod in a certain direction, transforming its rotary motion into linear motion.
At every drive, thanks to the spring, it shifts 1 disc from the loader to the launch zone in front of it, where
it will encounter the rotary axis.The cogwheel on the upper part (or rotary axis), by turning at the same
speed as the motor, will impart an induced rotation on the disc that will launch it and make it glide for 1 or
2 meters.
But why is the disc launched with a rotary
motion? Imagine the disc were a ying disc.
A ying disc does not travel very far without
rotation. It is the rotation speed that allows it to
y and keep stable, according to the so-called
gyroscope eect. The faster the rotations, the
more stable its path. We can observe this when
we climb on a bicycle: it stays upright only if we
pedal.

ASSEMBLY:
Insert the band with the velcro
as shown in the image on part 1,
while keeping the rough part facing
upwards.
Mount the battery compartment by
gently folding the cable and passing
it under as shown in the image.
Note: make sure that the
elastic band passes under the
compartment and that the velcro
closure is on top.

Insert part 3one ap at a time and
secure all the elements with two
screws.
Take part 2, and put it in place by
inclining it as shown in the image.
Fasten the two parts with two screws.
Note: make sure that the battery
cables do not get crushed during the
operation.

Note: tighten the screws properly.

Mount the grippers with the maximum possible opening, making sure that the sides with the screws face
downwards and the pin with the rectangular hole faces upwards.

Mount the motor as shown in the
image, while keeping the rotary axis
facing downwards and making sure
that the aps secure it correctly.
Pass the cables of the motor, the disc launcher
and the battery compartment through the
central hole.
Mount the disc launcher taking care not to shift or damage
the spring or the underlying gears.
WARNING: the disc launcher will have moving
parts once it starts working, so make sure that the
underlying gears do not touch the wires, as this
could prevent the device from working properly.

The handle can be mounted in two dierent
directions: if you are right-handed, mount it as
shown in the picture with the side button facing
left, while if you are left-handed, mount the
handle with the button towards the right.
Connect the Molex
connector according to
the following scheme:
P. Gripper motor
B. Batteries
D. Disc launcher
D. B. P.

WARNING: insert the excess cables through
the indicated hole to prevent them from
getting crushed during the assembly.
Assemble the two parts, while ensuring that the motor’s axis is perfectly aligned with the pin with the
rectangular hole; should this not be the case, slightly move the grippers until the part goes into place
properly; then, once it has been assembled, gently put it back into the maximum opening position.

WARNING: before assembling part 12, make sure that there is enough space between the transparent
loader and the disc launcher (where specied), so that at least one sponge disc can pass. *
*

Insert the discs one at a time through the
transparent loader slit.
Make sure that the disc enters at and that
it makes contact with the base of the disc
launcher or with the underlying disc.
WARNING! The disc launcher will not be
able to work unless the discs are stacked
properly; if they enter the launcher crooked
or diagonally, use your nger or a pen to
arrange them at.
Wear your robotic arm and grip the handle!
Here’s how to control it:
ROBOTIC GRIP: to control the movement of
the grippers, press the two buttons on the
inner side of the handle.
The innermost button closes the grippers, the
outermost one opens them.
P.S.: here’s a tip! For a stronger grip or to lift
heavy objects, once you have grasped them,
hold down the button that closes the grippers.
AIM AND ... PLAY!
DISC LAUNCHER: aim properly and keep the third button
pressed down; the arm will start launching discs at regular
intervals! Keep the button pressed down for a volley eect!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE OF TOYS/GAMES WITH REPLACEABLE BATTERIES
WARNING!
• Batteries must be installed by an adult. • The +
and - symbols on the batteries must be lined up
correctly. • Old batteries must be removed from
the toy. • The power terminal block must not be
short-circuited. • Never touch the contacts inside
the battery compartment, as this could cause a
short circuit. • The rechargeable batteries must
be removed prior to being charged. Only recharge
under adult supervision. • Never attempt to
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. • Dierent
types of batteries or new and used batteries should
not be used at the same time.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Batteries are dangerous if swallowed; keep away
from children. • Always remove batteries prior
to long-term storage. • Do not try to open the
batteries. • Do not throw batteries into a re.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY DISPOSAL
The symbol indicates that worn-out
batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with current regulations
on waste disposal. Chemical symbols
for mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and/or lead (Pb)
which appear below the crossed out wheeled
recycling bin symbol indicate that there is a
signicant percentage of the relative substance in
the battery. These substances are highly damaging
to the environment and human health. The correct
disposal of batteries allows their isolation and the
targeted treatment of harmful substances, and
allows recycling of precious primary materials,
reducing negative eects on persons and the
environment. The disposal of worn-out batteries in
landlls or the environment signicantly increases
the risk of water pollution. Pursuant to European
Directive 2013/56/EU, it is prohibited to dispose of
batteries and accumulators as household waste and
consumers are obliged to participate in separated
waste collection so as to facilitate the treatment
and recycling of the same.
HOW TO DISPOSE OF THE BATTERIES
Discharge the batteries completely by leaving the
device on until the batteries have fully run out.
Remove the batteries from the toy before disposal.
Dispose of all batteries in accordance with current
regulations, by using the appropriate containers at an
authorized recycling center or by returning them to
the shop where they were purchased. Returning them
is free! Penalties are applied for incorrect disposal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES
