The VEX® Robotics Fork Lift Ball Machine by HEXBUG®! teaches important scientific lessons in kinematics, linkages, reciprocal motion, timing and its effects on an overall system.
Using a unique over-centre linkage, this sophisticated machine is capable of executing both a scooping and lifting motion with its specialized forklift arm. Powered by a hand crank, the machine will move balls in a continuous loop at a rate of approximately 1 ball per second.
HEXBUG® is dedicated to inspiring future generations of robotics engineers through the excitement of hands-on learning with fun STEM-based construction kits.
