Build a mechanical beetle

The ROKR Rhinoceros Beetle is a 3D puzzle kit that assembles into a detailed steampunk model with movable wings and an LED indicator. It is designed for hobbyists aged 14 and above who enjoy intricate construction projects and nature-inspired mechanical displays.

Power and motion limits

The motorised wing mechanism flaps 618 times per minute and runs for three minutes per activation before stopping automatically. Operation requires three AAA batteries supplying 1.5 volts each, which are not included in the package due to shipping restrictions on lithium cells.

Assembly method decides suitability

All parts connect using pins, tabs, screws and sockets with no glue required, and the finished model remains fixed to its included base. Buyers who want a portable or dismountable figure should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Which version of the Rhinoceros Beetle kit should I choose for a 14-year-old?

The kit is recommended for ages 14 and up and comes as a single steampunk-style model with ABS polymer, leather and soft PVC parts, pre-cut pieces, brass piston rods and an LED indicator.

What does the 618 flaps-per-minute figure mean when the model is running?

Under standard voltage the wings flap 618 times per minute for about three minutes after one touch before the motor stops automatically to save power.

What power interface does the kit use and what does it limit?

It runs on three AAA 1.5 V LR03 batteries (not included due to shipping rules); the onboard controller limits the flapping cycle to three minutes per activation.
