Servo Projects

May 2nd, 2011

The students have recently been working on projects with servos. They have been exploring kinetic mechanisms:cams, cranks, linkages and levers. Students were divided into three groups. The first group had to make drawing machines, the second group had to make objects where a door opened something moved in and then out of the doorway and then the door closed, and the last group could make anything as long a servo controlled the movement.

While not all the projects are complete, here are some of them
