Station 3: Prepare It – Robot Arm Design Challenge
Authentic Data Modeling & Iterative Refinement with Real-World Application
Apply trigonometric modeling to authentic robotic motion through purposeful motion selection, careful measurement setup, and an organized plan for capturing meaningful data.

Checklist
I clearly identified and described my critical motion.
I explained why this motion is important for my robot’s job.
My teacher has checked and approved my motion selection.
The arm’s starting position is set and visible.
A protractor is attached securely to the robot for angle measurement.
My data table (Time, Shoulder Angle, Elbow Angle) is ready on paper.
I know how we’ll use slow-motion video for this activity, and everyone has a role.
(Maybe) We ran a practice video or checked our setup for clear measurement and data recording.
