module 4 of 12
With drivetrain and structure understood, this module covers the scoring mechanisms, the tools to make them, and the workflow to build a reliable robot.
Mechanisms, Fabrication, and Assembly is module 4 of 12 in the Mechanical, Build & Pneumatics guide. It picks up where Structure, Materials, and Fasteners left off and hands over to Pneumatics Fundamentals: How Air Becomes Motion. Its 3 lessons are about 115 minutes of the guide's ~21 hours.
