TZJC Robot Arm Assembly

ZAZZU

Zazzu Junior Corps practiced following detailed step by step instructions to assemble a working robotic arm from prefabricated parts.

The robot arm features three points of articulation. It is electrically powered by an on-board battery connected by Junior Corps members following simple wiring diagrams. Fundamental machine principles such as screws, levers, fulcrums, and powered motion are practically demonstrated by the rotating, lifting, and grasping robotic arm.

“ Get a grip! ”

The components can also be formed to create other powered machines. The practice helps TZJC get ready for more complicated robotics applications in their futures! Go Teame!

Keywords: - Drones - - Flying - - Mindset - - Readiness - - Swarm -
When Teame Zazzu arial operations come under a drone swarming attack, flight crews respond to repel the attack and out-maneuver the swarm.

TZ Junior Corps playtime with ROV.4 and ROV.5!
Keywords: - -
TZJC members played tag and capture the flag, as well as practicing giving commands and interactions in a human/ROV free-play environment. Compressed-air launched projectiles were fired to compare accuracy against ROV.5 MLRS modules. Practice moving around, forming up, sharing duties, and safely handling ROV units were important skills to practice TZJC focus on safety, adventure, science and technology learning was a key aspect.

STEM RESEARCH DAY: Jr Corps team members explored the sciences at the STEM action center
Keywords: - -
TZJC members explored approaches to teamwork and basic engineering by building rudimentary structures from block materials, firing an air cannon at human targets, taking control of robot warriors in a battlebot ring, performing basic laboratory functions, and taking command of a simulated drone control station.
