Exploration

Now that you've finished the build, test what it does. Play with your build and then answer these questions in your engineering notebook.

  1. How do you think the Clawbot could be used as a tool for measurement?

  2. If you didn't have a ruler to measure, which VEX piece would you choose to act as a measuring stick?

  3. While the Clawbot is off, lift its arm gently until it is lifted as high as it can go. Stop when you feel resistance. Measure how high the claw is off of the surface the Clawbot is on. Measure in millimeters. Why do you think it's a bad idea to move the robot at high speeds with its arm fully lifted?
