Tired of the standard Gen 2 VEX IQ Clawbot tipping over, falling apart, or lacking the power you need? Supercharge your robotics curriculum with this complete project bundle, designed to transform the basic Clawbot into a robust, high-performance machine! This isn't just a set of instructions; it's a masterclass in the engineering design process. We've taken the original design and re-engineered it from the ground up to be stronger, more stable, and more precise. It's the perfect way for your st
There's nothing more frustrating than a robot that can't hold on to its prize. If your students are tired of a claw that drops game pieces or isn't strong enough for the challenge, this is the upgrade you've been waiting for. This project provides a complete guide to building a redesigned claw with superior grip, strength, and classroom-tested reliability.
A great robot starts with a great foundation. If your students' VEX IQ robots are wobbly, difficult to drive straight, or constantly tipping over, the problem is the drivetrain. This project provides a complete, step-by-step guide to building a robust chassis that is more stable, durable, and ready for any challenge you throw at it. What's Included:A Detailed, Step-by-Step PowerPoint Presentation with clear, high-quality visuals for constructing the redesigned, low-profile drivetrain.Key Feature
Is the standard VEX IQ Gen 2 Clawbot arm stalling, skipping gears, or struggling to lift objects? Give your robot a serious performance boost with this focused project to build a powerful and intelligent 4-bar lift mechanism! This resource provides everything you need to guide your students in constructing a mechanically superior arm, introducing them to advanced engineering concepts in a single, high-impact lesson. What's Included:A Detailed, Step-by-Step PowerPoint Presentation with clear visu
You've built the ultimate upgraded Clawbot... now, let's bring it to life! Skip the hours of frustrating trial-and-error coding and get your students driving in minutes. This VEXcode IQ Blocks program is the final piece of the puzzle—a fully configured, heavily commented, and classroom-tested driver control program designed specifically for our Ultimate Clawbot hardware.
Do you need an easy to build robot + a few quick activities to promote your robotics club? This is for you! Build a robot in less than 15 minutes and learn to write simple programs - still under 30 min. There are enough activities to keep students busy, happy and entertained for about two hours - Use as many as you need.
I use this PPT to select which students are to join the school's robotics club.Minimal Prep required: Organize your VEX IQ Kit Boxes - Make sure the required parts are all in there.There are four sections: 1. Learn Part Names 2. Build the Robot 3. Drive the Robot 4. Part Names Quiz
Based on the popular SIMON Memory Game The program will flash a random sequence which you need to repeat With every level the sequence gets longer Use this game to teach the following concepts:Lists (Arrays)VariablesIf and If/Else statementsLoopsIncrementsOperatorsFunctions (My Blocks)Keep in mind that you will definitely spend much more time teaching this to 4th graders than 9th graders.
This claw performs much better than the claw of the standard VEX IQ Clawbot. 1. Due to the 1:3 gear ratio, it is easier to control and has more torque. 2. The only place where torque is transferred by a shaft, is from the motor to the drive gear. All other torque transfers are done via gears and connectors – making it much sturdier. 3. It is a very compact design.
This lesson will teach your students how to build a claw for the 4-Bar lift we built in an earlier lesson. This claw is easy to change for different purposes and it has decent torque, meaning it will hold onto objects well. On top of this, it is also easy to operate.
This lesson will teach your students how to build a 4-Bar lift to fit on the competition drivetrain we built in an earlier lesson. A 4-Bar lift is a mechanical linkage system commonly used in robotics to provide controlled vertical movement, typically for lifting and manipulating objects. The name "4-Bar" refers to the four bar-like links connected by joints. The key components of a 4-Bar lift include two longer bars known as the "ground" and "output" bars, and two shorter bars known as the "con
Teach your students to build an easily modifiable, sturdy - competition sized drivetrain as the base for many types of competition robots. This drivetrain's gear ratio is easily changeable, you can add more omni wheels - even a 5th wheel to make an H drive. The model shows the motors in vetical position, on the middle gear, but their position can easily be changed to multiple different locations and orientations. Have fun building.
