Stegosaurus, the walking fortress of the late Jurassic period, is the newest UGears dinosaur automaton, joining the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops in the UGears dino collection.
The Stegosaurus by UGears is a spring-driven, four-legged DIY wooden dino automaton, able to walk up to one meter on a single winding. The winding key is found in the dino's belly, with paired winding slots located on each side. The bony plate above the dinosaur's shoulder functions as a "Start/Stop" switch. Push the plate back before giving up to ten half-turns of the key, then set the Stegosaurus on a flat surface, slide the shoulder plate forward, and watch your living fossil lumber off in search of its next meal! An eccentric gear sets the tail swaying in synchronous motion with the legs, helping the dinosaur walk in a life-like fashion.
