About This Activity
The Robot Engineering camp also campers to build their very own robotic arm ahich is used so often in industry. With Robotic Arm Edge, you command the gripper to open and close. It also features wrist motion of 120 degrees, an extensive elbow range of 300 degrees, base rotation of 270 degrees, base motion of 180 degrees, vertical reach of 15 inches, horizontal reach of 12.6 inches, and lifting capacity of 100g. WOW! Some of the added features include a search light design on the gripper and a safety gear audible indicator is included on all five gear boxes to prevent any potential injury or gear breakage during operation. How does this equate to fun? And, campers take it home at the end of the week! The second robot your camper will build is a multi-function solar powered robot. If your children are glued to smart-phones, give them an opportunity to acquire solar power knowledge, learn about mechanical transmissions, and get them outside to play. Amazingly, you might find yourself engaged in conversation with your child, thanks to their newly acquired “expertise”! Both of these robot kits allow campers to create and recreate: Put it together, take it apart, make another module…It’s all about flexibility, problem solving, and intelligent thinking. But luckily, kids don’t have to be advanced engineers to create and achieve. With both robots, they learn as they play! If times allows, campers will learn how to solder on Friday with the help of the perennial favorite “Blinky Robot.” Your camper will have a blast learning how to build their robots- they’ll be SO proud to show off their hard work on Friday! A $15 lab fee is included in the camp tuition due to the high costs of the robotics kits and other supplies for this camp.
