1. Grippers
Grippers, or actuators, allow the robot to interact
with its surroundings.
The grippers found here are just examples. Objects
vary in shape and size, so you may need to adapt
these examples to suit your needs.
Using four 5/16 SHCSs and kep nuts, attach a servo horn
to one of the flat brackets so it will be the one on top after
attaching it to the servo.
Place the servos into the brackets with the servo motor
shafts on facing toward the servo horn on the bracket.
Secure each servo to the motor bracket with SHCSs.
Attach the pivot brackets to each servo where you want
them. You will have to stretch the end with the horn over
the servo.
Secure the servo to the horn with the servo screw.
4. TECHNIC Gripper
NXT motors can also be used to create TECHNIC
grippers attachable to the TETRIX building system.
With the five beams oriented so that they are on the top
of the NXT, attach a red two-length axle to the underside
of the motor. From the top of the motor, insert a six-length
axle.
Connect a 9x5 Angle Beam to the red two-length axle from
the arched end. Insert a Long Connector to the last round
hole in the 9x5 Angle Beam.
