2. Based on your criteria, choose a design and start building!Remember, the challenge in the upcoming Amaze Phase is to move a stack of three soda cansacross a room. You may want to modify your gripper or drivetrain so that you can completethis challenge as quickly as possible.3. Attach your gripper to your completed arm.4. Mount the entire arm to the chosen drivetrain. For ideas on how to mount the arm, go back tothe Unit 3 Build Phase and review how Protobot’s arm was mounted to its base.5. Plug in motors and servos to the appropriate ports in the Microcontroller. Test your arm witha Transmitter to make sure everything is functioning correctly.6. Move on to the Amaze Phase and get ready for your upcoming challenge!24■Unit 13: Rotating Joints
Amaze PhaseOverviewIn this phase, you use your robot from Unit 13: Rotating Joints > Build Phase to move a stack of threesoda cans across a room as quickly as possible.Phase ObjectivesAfter completing this phase, you will be able to:■■Test the designs of drivetrains, rotating joints, and grippers.Improve designs based on performance reviews.Prerequisites and Related ResourcesBefore starting this phase, you must have:■■■Completed Unit 13: Rotating Joints > Think Phase.Completed Unit 13: Rotating Joints > Build Phase.An assembled single-jointed arm from the Unit 13: Rotating Joints > Build Phase attached to thegripper created in the Unit 12: Object Manipulation > Build Phase that is attached to a drivetrainof your choice.Related phase resources are:■■■■■■Unit 1: Introduction to VEX and Robotics.Unit 4: Microcontroller and Transmitter Overview.Unit 5: Speed, Power, Torque, and DC Motors.Unit 6: Gears, Chains, and Sprockets.Unit 7: Advanced Gears.Unit 12: Object Manipulation.Amaze Phase■25
