Students at Linden SDA school have been continuing to learn fundamental principles of robotics.
This past week, basic principles of movement, hand anatomy, tension, compression, & animatronics were covered. Common household materials such as cardboard, tape, rubber bands, straws, & plastic cord were utilized to create a movable robot-like hand based off of NASA’s publicly available informal educational resources.
