Students work in groups to complete a hydraulic/pneumatic lab with syringes to examine the forces involved and the strength of fluid power
Final project is the “firefighting Robotic Arm” – in groups students design and build an arm with a working claw that must extinguish a tea light candle – pick it up with a working claw – (located behind a 6 inch wall) and dispose of it in a container.
