Overview:
The TETRIX MAX RotoGrip Bot is an
exploration of a simplified version of
a traditional pick-and-place robot.
The focus is on a strong connection to
combining simple machine principles
in effective ways and on generating
out-of-the-box thinking regarding
traditional approaches to common
problems. Step-by-step instructions
are provided for creating a complete
gripping mechanism entirely from
common elements in the TETRIX MAX
R/C Robotics Set.
How It Works:
The TETRIX MAX RotoGrip Bot uses one 12 VDC motor mounted perpendicular to the axis of rotation
to provide an effective method of rotation for the whole robot. This allows for a full 360 degrees
of freedom while maintaining a very stable platform. Two servo motors are used in the lifting and
gripping subsystem. The lift arm allows for a solid exploration of levers and mechanical advantage
while the gripper is an example of both gears and levers.
Getting Started:
• Refer to pages 132-183 for instructions on how to build the complete TETRIX MAX RotoGrip Bot.
• See page 184-185 for suggested sample activities.
Time Expectations:
75-90 minutes
Note: Many factors can affect building time, including such things as set organization and whether
the builder has a partner. The above time is only an estimate and is based on an individual builder of
average experience who is comfortable with hands-on building activities and has access to complete,
well-organized sets. Actual time might vary.
