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!

TZJC activities support the growth and development of core assets within the community to encourage learning, preparedness, teamwork, and fun
Features


FISH FARMERS: A visit to a fish hatchery allows TZ JC members to inspect a hatchery facility and answer questions to fish and game officials.
Keywords: - Nature - - Public Policy - - Fish -
Over 200 thousand fish per year are raised and released into rivers, streams and lakes from this facility. Teame members were taken through the entire process, learning interesting facts at each step along the way. The process of liquid water oxygenation and mobile high population transport methods were particular subjects of focus during question and answer sessions.

After 5k endurance run, members visit with fire, police, and medical personnel for introduction to emergency equipment.

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.

OPERATION PORTERHOUSE STAKES: TZJC members practice essential skills
Keywords: - Readiness - - Exercises - - Guns - - Drones - - ROV - - K9 -
Junior Corps participants got to handle and maneuver with robots, quadcopter drones, and K9 units in coordinated maneuvers. They participated in planning operational safety procedures, fire control, first aid, and task achievement together as a team. Marksmanship skills and drill were practiced in various environments, including an indoor range, public spaces, and private live-fire training grounds.
