  • How many parts will your robotic arm have?
  • Think about how a robotic arm can pick up an object. How does it grab the object?
  • Think about how your arm bends and how you might make your robotic arm bend.
  • What materials can be used to make the “muscles”?
  • What materials can be used to make the “bones”? 
  • How will you make the arm bend?
  • TIP: Inventors’ and engineers’ first ideas rarely solve a problem. When they solve a problem, they try different ideas, learn from mistakes, and try again. If things don’t work out, it’s an opportunity—not a mistake! This is all part of the design process.

    Tension: A pulling, stretching force.

    Compression: A pushing, squeezing force.

    Friction: a force that resists motion.
