Our last Robotics Meeting

Wednesday was our last club meeting. All the students ended up with some form of a working robotic arm, powered by syringes and tubing filled with air or water. Most of them picked up an object and some of them even would move the object to a new location. It was really fun to watch them work successfully. Some of the kids built a kind of hand or squeezing mechanism at the end of their arm. One boy used an electromagnet to pick up a staple and drop it off. All gave a presentation of their project, and learned from eachother. Everyone got a big, blue ribbon and a decadent chocolate cup cake.
