Servo Motor Mounts
In Lesson 4 students will continue to enrich their understanding of the Engineering Design Process as they add mounts to hold servo motors to their GoPiGo Robots. This is a great lesson in measuring, planning, and rethinking how systems work.
4. Create: Working With Moving Parts
Now we are going to take our design skills to a new level. Our challenge is to attach a servo motor somewhere on our GoPiGO and use it to make something move. The mount will be 3d printed either from scratch or by using any of the files from step 3. Feel free to include materials such as popsicle sticks, fabric, and cotton balls.
*You may decide to use your car design from lesson 3 and continue with the same theme. Perhaps you made an ice cream truck like the one pictured and would like to add a spinning ice cream cone on top. Whatever you do, have fun, and remember to make use of the engineering design process.
