Candy Claw Engineering STEM Experiment Maker Lab | Build Your Own Claw Machine | Advanced Difficulty

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.

Ideal for ages 6 years and up, you can experiment with three different types of claws (pincher, scoop, and three-pronged) to pick up lollipops and decoy candy boxes (both included!). This fun yet challenging, gamified approach to engineering lessons will teach you about hydraulics, levers, gears, belts, linkages, end effectors, and more.

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. Refill your machine with your own treats and prizes for long-lasting fun. For ages 8+ with help; 12+ "I got this!"

IMPORTANT: This cute candy claw is a challenging build! Parents/adults will need to be active participants in the assembly and engineering of this product. IMPORTANT: Download and read the instruction before use. We recommend using the step-by-step assembly and troubleshooting videos available online.

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.

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 6 lollipops 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 & engineer your own arcade-style claw machine! The Toy Association's 2022 STEAM Toy of the Year finalist!
