Claws allow FRC robots to grasp, hold, and release game pieces with control and consistency. These mechanisms often rely on simple, reliable motion—such as pivoting arms, rollers, or finger-style grips—to secure game pieces during driving, lifting, or scoring. Understanding the basic concepts behind claw design helps team members think about grip reliability, centering, and how game piece geometry affects overall handling.
This test focuses on the core ideas behind FRC claw mechanisms: how claws apply force to hold game pieces, how geometry and contact points influence grip stability, and how design choices affect precision and ease of use during match play.
If you are familiar with basic FRC robot systems, this test should take about 5–10 minutes to complete.
