Robotic Fish Kit – Keelung GangXi Elementary School Teacher Study

ROV MAKER 2022/3/2 was invited to the Keelung Municipal Gangxi Elementary School Teacher Training Course to introduce the assembly and principle of the bionic robotic fish.

The bionic mechanical fish is a STEM teaching kit promoted by ROVMAKER for marine education in primary and junior high schools.Through ingenious design and simple assembly, the mechanical fish can present a leisurely posture of roaming in the water after assembly.

The principle of the mechanical fish is that , two table tennis balls  provide the necessary buoyancy for the mechanical fish ; the battery box (including the battery) and the 130 geared motor are arranged on both sides of the fish body with a small weight difference, which provides the balance of the fish body in the water. The 130 geared motor rotates, and the fish body swings through the connecting rod to move the fish forward. The inertial swing of the fish tail is also one of the driving forces for the mechanical fish to move forward. The arrangement of the fish tail spring can also determine the direction of the fish parade!!
