Gundam Next Future Science Exhibition @Science and Technology Museum

 GUNDAM EVERYWHERE! 

It always amazes me how human bodies are designed and works greatly when I see how hard it is to implement such moves to the machines and robots. 

Kids were hovering the 4-legged robot ride called SR 02, a machine made by a company called Sansei Technologies. It was supposed to walk while carrying the people, though it needed maintenance, The kids watched that they were working on the machine for almost 3 hours. They gave up fixing it after all, and started to let people just get on its seat without moving. My kids were the first to ride. 

They had a stamp rally and we got some GUNDAM scale models to bring back home after completion. It was a fun day! 

大きいお友達も沢山来ていたガンダム展。ファン歴の長そうな方達にも怯まず、ロボットを操作する抽選に勝って、ロボットを走らせたり、ガンダムの手でジャンケンしたり、修理をずーっと見ていたり、おそらくデザイナーさんだったり、プログラマーだったり、製造に関わった人達に臆せず質問したり、飽きることなく観ていたチビ達。閉館時間まで遊べて、スタンプラリーもして、プラモデルをもらって帰りました。
