As a project encouraging pupils to learn how to work in a new CAD package, the aim for each individual is to follow the stages of build to recreate the Clawbot product, before adapting its design and function based on their experiences of working with real VEX equipment.
The project concentrates on the accurate application of CAD to produce a dynamic moving assembly of parts, which pupils can use to render, carry out a stress analysis, or simply personalise with changes to material appearances. Once the basic Clawbot has been modelled, pupils are encouraged to introduce new parts, develop the perceived function of the product, and move beyond the step by step tutorial approach of the early lessons.
The students will spend time developing their ability to problem solve, work within assemblies, adapt existing modelled parts, constrain and join components together, establish good methods of modelling, and complete the entire build of a VEX Clawbot.
*Lesson 1. Pupils will be encouraged to discuss an overview of the Clawbot build by reinforcing the Autodesk Inventor environment to the students. Pupils will then begin to build up the first elements of their Clawbot, and log progress and findings into an engineering notebook.
*Lesson 2. Pupils showcase their model progress to their peers and present to one another about how they modelled their Clawbot parts, and continue to build up further elements of their clawbot. Each student will need to ensure they document in their engineering work books the steps completed, the tools and parts used, and the issues that arose.
*Lesson 3. Pupils are set tasks to differentiate the model they create, including setting unique briefs for pupils to work to once the Clawbot has been modelled.Pupils will design additions they plan to add to their Clawbots, build and finish their Clawbot robot build, and work through their notes from the engineering notebook to personalise the robot for a unique task.
