Mechatronics Technology

Mechatronics...


Today at tech I had mechatronics. Today we had to use a grabber arm to pick up a lego rock thing. We had to watch how the arm worked and write down what we what change if we could. I thought of a arm with thicker grabber pieces so it could grab things more easily. The next challenge was to programme our robots to drive over some coloured dots to get points. I was working with Kirsten and Shafrin and we were tied with Clara and Jessica with the most points. I was so surprised we got the most points because I just estimated the last two programming blocks. Next term I have three more sessions doing mechatronics, then I will be moving to another tech group.

  1. It sounds like you had a great time at tech today Caitlyn. That was a good idea making the arms thicker on the robot. Do you get the chance to put that suggestion in place on the robot? Well done winning the challenge! Getting your estimates right shows you have a good understanding of how to calculate the blocks. Well done for having the confidence to try it!
