Station 2: Apply It – Arc Length & Motion Modeling
Mathematical Modeling
Understand how changing a single joint angle on the robot arm creates an arc, and calculate the actual distance the end-effector travels using the arc length formula.

Checklist:
We selected a user task to work with
We completed the Arc Length Calculation Table
We created 2 annotated sketches
We described what the arc lengths represent in our robot scenario
We explained why radians were necessary for the calculation
Our team returned the robot arm to its place
