The Da Vinci Series Self-Propelling Cart by Academy offers an incredible model-building experience. It brings to life Leonardo da Vinci’s groundbreaking design for the first robot-cart in history. Originally conceived in the 15th century, this self-propelled cart served as a visionary precursor to modern robotics and automation.

Moreover, the cart showcases Da Vinci’s innovative approach to engineering and mechanics. Powered by a spring mechanism, it moves forward without manual effort—demonstrating the principles of kinetic energy and motion in action. As you build, you gain hands-on insight into Da Vinci’s early exploration of mechanical motion.

In addition, the kit provides a fascinating opportunity to explore historical design through interactive construction. While Da Vinci’s original cart was never built during his lifetime, this model faithfully brings his concept to life. It offers a tangible way to understand his mechanical ingenuity and creative foresight.

Even better, the Self-Propelling Cart requires no glue, paint, or batteries, making assembly straightforward and enjoyable. Designed for ages 14 and up, it combines historical education with engaging craftsmanship. Once completed, the cart functions as both a tribute to Da Vinci’s brilliance and a striking display piece.

Ultimately, this model kit is a must-have for anyone passionate about history, engineering, or Da Vinci’s extraordinary inventions.
