Identifying the Characteristics of a Design to Optimize a Design Solution

Students will evaluate the performance of the VEX Clawbot IQ in the following task.

Criteria:

a). Move several different solid figures from a starting location to a raised platform.

b). The figures must be lifted off the ground and moved to the platform.

c). The figures must be lowered to the platform and not simply dropped onto the platform.

Solid Figures:

Cube, Rectangular Prism, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, and Square Pyramid.

Constraints:

1). Area of movement is 6 feet by 8 feet (48 square feet).

2). The platforms are at least 2 inches high but less than 6 inches high.

Students will observe and identify characteristics of the robot design that performed best. They will determine what modifications can be made to solve any problems that arose given the criteria and constraints.
