freehand tab was used to jog the robot joints. The import library was used toimport a tool to attach to the robot. A table was imported for the tool to operate on. Targets wereset on the four corners of the table. A path was created between the four corners and. A path can betaught instructions by manually jogging joints. When the path between the four corners wasdefined, the robot was made to move along the path. This was simulated at different speeds of 200,400, 600, 800, and 1000 mm/s and the cycle time to go along the path was recorded. The cycle timedecreased as speed increased. This decrease was the steepest from 200 to 400 mm/s and keptgetting less and less steep.The experiment demonstrated how RobotStudio can be used to mimic the function

great as the campuses involved in this study are closely connected with manyoverlapping administrative services.Theme 5: A pure ICT solution is not best for supporting equity and encouraging engagement.Whereas multi-campus teaching is traditionally seen as an instructor in a teleconferencing-enabled classroom with a local cohort, teaching to both local and remote cohort(s), theparticipants interviewed for this study stressed that they have worked with a combination ofremote/distance teaching technologies such as Zoom alongside traditional teleconferencedclassroom solutions.The need for creative solutions is connected to Theme 6 and the desire to provide a high quality,positive experience for the students.

However, the instructor may grade some specific entries more closely, especially those explicitly requested by the instructor) ● Showing improvements in demonstrating and using certain skills. ● Teachers may also create and use additional tools as they see fit.Outcomes Assessment: Teachers need to evaluate the soft skills modules they use and assess theoutcomes achieved by introducing the modules in their classrooms. Some criteria to considerinclude: ● Success of delivery ● Students’ engagement ● Students’ grades (average scores, min, max, etc.) ● Solicited students’ feedback (polls
transition using equipment purchased in thelate 1990’s and early 2000’s, the equipment quickly showed that it was not up to the task. The lackof machine controller capability was evident in very slow motions due to low block processingspeeds of the controllers, long wait times for program uploads, insufficient machine memory forlarge program sizes, and very long wait times for on-machine program searches and editing. Thehardware also demonstrated a lack of capability with many short, jerky moves and frozen axismotions. To address these limitations, a new set of machines was recently purchased. A set ofsimilar size vertical spindle CNC mills was purchased. Each of these machines has a moderncontroller with capability for loading, editing, and running

it for support, with a cutout for thebarrier. Additionally, several 3D-printed braces were used to support the drivetrain. Figure 6: Assembled Drivetrain To ensure that the robot would be able to withstand competition, simulation tool inSolidWorks was used to analyze the structural integrity of the drivetrain. The drivetrain platewas tested by simulating the robot crashing into a wall. The final robot weighed 16.5 pounds, soassuming it was moving its top speed of 7 ft/s and came to a full stop in half a second, it wouldexperience a force of 7.18 pounds. The force was applied to the front face of the plate, and therear face was fixed. This was done to generate the most extreme examples of stress
