Construct a smart turret with joystick control! This kit teaches servo motor mechanics, angle calculation, and sensor-based targeting through a hands-on build experience. Use the joystick to aim and the trigger mechanism to fire. A fantastic introduction to control systems and embedded programming.

FAQ Protocol

What age is this kit suitable for?expand_more
The Anti-Aircraft Gun kit is recommended for ages 10 and up. It's an intermediate level kit that requires some patience with servo calibration.
How long does it take to build?expand_more
The complete build takes approximately 5-7 hours. We recommend spreading this over 3 sessions — base assembly, wiring, and programming/calibration.
Can this kit be used for competitions?expand_more
This is a standalone educational kit not currently eligible for competition categories. However, the servo skills learned transfer directly to competition-ready kits like the Robot Car and Robot Arm.
Are batteries included?expand_more
A battery holder is included but AA batteries need to be purchased separately. We recommend quality alkaline batteries for consistent servo performance.
