Stacking robots (also known as pick-and-place robots) are designed to lift, position, and release game pieces accurately and efficiently.
Understanding the fundamentals of arms, lifts and claws helps teams evaluate how these systems influence a robot's overall design and on-field performance.
This series of tests assess your general awareness of how pick-and-place mechanisms contribute to robot versatility, stability, and scoring strategy. Complete all three tests to evaluate your readiness in macro design of stacking robots:

A more advanced concept that can be used with stacking robots is the Multi-Axis Arm. If you are ready for the challenge, take the following test:
