Remember to put these on your MS Rover Robotics Online Portfolio
IMPORTANT RULES FOR THIS CHALLENGE:
The device does not need to move around
You will lift at least 1kg
You cannot use treads
The weight cannot be permanently attached to anything
The lifting process will begin with the trigger of a sensor and end with another type of sensor
You will need to lift the weight at least 30cm vertically
A) Sketch
In your robotics planning pad, create an annotated sketch of the device you wish to build.
Remember to annotate the following:
Gears
Major components (motors, wires, brain brick)
Potential movement
