Think as a Team
Discuss with your team: Are there loads that, even though they’re heavy, can still be fragile? Which ones? What kind of robot could help in these situations? How does a crane work?
Use the laser cutter to cut the parts for your crane.

Build your Crane
Coordinate with the other teams to use the laser cutter.
Done with the laser cutter? Follow the assembly steps:
Assign a role to each team member during the build:
Builder
Parts Runner
Supervisor
Build the model.
Hand out the parts needed for the build.
Oversee the build steps.
Modify your crane’s design
Code your challenge
With the laser cutter, you can make:Additional parts to extend the crane’s arm or modify its base for greater stability. Interchangeable hooks or attachments for different types of lifting.
Code your crane to move in a different direction depending on the detected color. For safety, create 6 code stacks with a double condition: they activate when the pressure sensor is pressed and the color sensor detects a color at the same time. Cyan → lower the rope White → raise the rope Purple → move the crane to the right Red → move the crane to the left Green → raise the boom/structure Blue → lower the boom/structure Also add another stack to stop the three motors.
New Coding Challenge
For greater safety, light up the hub’s center button in the same color detected by the sensor a few seconds before moving. Use the distance sensor to alert that the crane is operating when someone gets close.
Code your robot!
Thanks to the use of the “AND” condition, the crane’s movement depends on two simultaneous conditions being met: the color sensor and the pressure sensor.
Think About It
In this challenge, using the “AND” condition was essential for the crane to move.
