EXCELLENCE IN ENGINEERING DESIGN

PROJECT SUMMARY

I did a mechanical arm.I thought that this arm could grab things that humans cant touch or are afraid to touch,like for example a spiky fish or a acid can.

WHY?

I wanted to make a mechanical arm kind of like the Winter Soldier in Captain America Civil War.I also did it to have fun and to try something new.

HOW?

My mechanical arm works with strings, cardboard, straws, silicone and glue.

WHAT?

I found that my mechanical arm works and that it can help you in lots of ways.

SO WHAT?

I had a hypothesis: Would the results of my project change if I didn't tighten my strings a lot?

WHAT'S NEXT?

I think that I can now reinforce the string's that I used. This would make the fingers more articulated.

REFERENCES/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My mom and my dad helped me do my project. I followed some instructions from a book in Epic!

JUDGES FEEDBACK

Wow! Your mechanical arm turned out really well and you have some great ideas to try new variations of it next year! I wonder how you might be able to get the thumb to work too .... that is one of the most useful fingers in my opinion! It would be fun to try out different ways to get the thumb to move and grasp objects too. Great job!
