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!

Completion of the hike was faced by a looming deadline in the form of a swiftly approaching storm that brought heavy winds and snow to the area. Junior Corps members, who had to perform all planning activities on their own initiative, managed to complete all required steps and successfully perform the hike.

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.
