Build It!

Code It!

Challenge Yourself!

Modify your robot to lift a full soda can!

How to build a scissor lift:

Make an “X.”

Connect another “X.”

Attach one end of the top of the two X’s to the platform and one end of the bottom to a motor.

  • Try to make your robot pour the soda as well!
  • Try changing your robot’s speed to see how it affects the device.
  • Do you want your robot to be automated (using a sensor) or controlled (using a button)?
