    This is the Line Tracing Snail Assembly Kit from the Electrical Craft
                              Series by Tamiya.

FEATURES: The 21st century is said to be the age of robotics--Tamiya explores
            this new trend with the release of an assembly kit of a robotic
            snail.
          The Line Tracing Snail uses a special LED sensor to detect a black
            line (magic marker, etc.) drawn on a white background.
          Uses two small Type FA-130 motors and rubber tires to slowly but
            surely move forward and turn.
          The body of the snail is made of transparent plastic to allow viewing
            of the intricate mechanisms inside.
          Photo transistor sensitivity can be adjusted to adapt for a variety
            of paper sizes and line widths.
          Snail eyes move in-synch with tires.
          Capable of low speed setting for fine lines and narrow areas or high
            speed setting for wide areas and thick lines.
          Plastic body can be painted for added style.
          Line up a family of snails for even more line tracing, robotic
            wackiness!
