Hello, colleagues!
Iām continuing to develop my own VEX GO Robotics Curriculum, and today Iād like to share a new model designed for the Robotic Gripper lesson.
The focus of this lesson is Wait blocks, specifically:
- waiting for a specific amount of time;
- waiting for a sensor state.
When designing this model, I set the following goals:
simple construction;
one motor;
use of the LED Bumper;
open and close the gripper using the LED Bumper button;
change the LED Bumper color;
securely hold lightweight objects.
I believe these goals have been successfully achieved, and the model turned out to be both simple and functional.
One important detail: this model is built with the VEX GO Brain, not the Switch. That was a deliberate decision because this is a robotic gripper, not a mechanical one. Students control it through programming, making it a much more valuable learning experience.
Iād love to hear your thoughts! What do you think about this model? Feel free to leave your comments and questions below!
