    Build a Robotic Crane (Quirkbot)

    Strawbees Team

    Lift cargo with a robotic crane operated with circuit touch. In many robotic and automated creations, the movement of the motor matches the expected result perfectly. When first making the crane, the movement of the mechanical structure will not be perfect the first time. Explore how to get different results of the crane’s automated movement by changing the motor, the code controlling the motor, and adjust the movement of mechanical structure.
