Mechanical Systems
Explore advanced mechanical concepts through lift mechanisms. Learn how gears, levers, and linkages can multiply force and create complex motions in robotic systems.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this unit, you will be able to:
- Design mechanical advantage systems
- Build linear, scissor, and telescoping lifts
- Calculate gear ratios and mechanical advantage
- Integrate mechanical systems with electronic control
Types of Lifts
This unit covers three fundamental lift mechanisms:
