10.8: Design Activity

 

Lifting Mechanism Construction :

Using the lessons learned in this unit, students should follow a design process similar to the one described in Unit 1 to determine a lifting mechanism for their competition robot. Students should brainstorm multiple solutions and record the entire process in their engineering notebooks. Students should choose one concept and design it in Autodesk Inventor or build it using VEX Components.
