ROKR MI06 Manta Ray Mechanical 3D Puzzle Kit

ROKR has created an impressive mechanical replica of the manta ray that brings the creature’s elegance to your desk. With its familiar chevron pattern and effortlessly fluid motion, this miniature DIY 3D model captures the manta’s seemingly weightless grace. The included base elevates the model, and a press of its button sets the pectoral fins gliding in smooth arcs, the tail sways at a gentle, low frequency, and the LED lights pulse softly in the same rhythm. Press the button again to unleash the rapidly flashing and fin-accelerating Burst Mode that mimics the manta’s sudden burst of speed to evade danger.

FEATURES:

• Dual-Link Transmission: A precision-engineered dual-link mechanism powers realistic 40 flapping of the pectoral fins
• Low-Frequency Tail Fin Motion: A smooth 33 oscillation mimics the manta ray’s natural cruising rhythm
• LED Light Effects: Soft ice-blue and amber lights breathe in time with the fins, while Burst Mode adds rapid, high-frequency flashes
• Two Modes: Cruise Mode creates gentle, rhythmic movement, while Burst Mode delivers rapid fin beats with quick, flashing lighting
• Armor-Inspired Design: Includes plated cephalic fins, stealth-textured wings, twin jet-style thrusters, and segmented dorsal plates. The ROKR Manta Ray also features the real-life creature’s signature chevron pattern for authenticity
• Premium Material Build: Durable, precisely fitting parts join seamlessly through the mortise and tenon joint system
• Dimensions: 7.6 x 8.1 x 5.6in

Nature is man’s most patient teacher, and the manta ray’s underwater maneuvering is one of its most fascinating inspirations for creating and innovating technology. For so long, scientists have been trying to emulate the graceful oscillating and undulating movement of the giant manta ray’s massive pectoral fins to achieve underwater efficiency. Several projects, including agile and energy-efficient manned and autonomous vehicles, propulsion systems, and bio-inspired robots, have adopted flexible fin designs for cargo-hauling and exploring marine environments with minimal disruption. Just like the real manta and the cutting-edge technology it inspires, the ROKR Manta Ray showcases the harmony of elegance, efficiency, and intelligent design.
