Introduction
In this Lesson you will learn about what robotic arms are, how they work, and what makes an effective arm design. Then, you will apply your learning to stack as many cubes as you can within a minute in the Stacked Up challenge. Watch the animation below to see one way that the Clawbot could move to stack cubes in the challenge.
In this animation, the Clawbot begins in the center of the lower wall on the Field. There are three blue cubes at the three black line intersections opposite the robot, and two red cubes at the black line intersections on the left and right center of the Field. When the timer starts counting down, the robot first drives and turns to the left to grasp the red cube, then drives to stack it on the blue cube in the left corner. It then reverses and drives to the right side red cube, and attempts to stack it onto the center blue cube. In the final seconds the robot stacks the right corner blue cube onto the center stack.
