Strip of hook-and-loop fastener (1 per robot).Laser-cut basswood sheets (3 per robot).The company, founded in 1971, is headquartered in Pittsburg, KS. Pitsco Education develops K-12 science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum, educational kits, and classroom tools. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. The T-Bot II can be mounted on the 34106 T-Bot II Base (sold separately). A hydraulic robot is typically used in an educational setting to demonstrate mechanics, robotics, and physics.Ĭonstruction requires a screwdriver, scissors, glue gun and glue slugs, and white glue (all sold separately). The finished T-Bot II measures 12 inches at its tallest point. The kit reinforces engineering, technology, and math concepts as students build and test a hydraulic robot.
The T-Bot II illustrates how axes and levers work for students studying simple machines, and it demonstrates hydraulic power and simple robotics for students studying mechanical concepts. It includes laser-cut basswood parts, syringes, wood dowels, screws, O-rings, nylon spacers, a plastic straw, clear plastic tubing, hook-and-loop fastener, a rubber band, a resealable plastic bag, and instructions. The Pitsco Laser-Cut Basswood T-Bot II Hydraulic Arm kit provides students in grades 6-12 a hands-on activity to build a hydraulic robot that demonstrates the scientific concepts of axes and levers, force, and Newton's laws of motion, and it includes basswood parts required to build the robot and syringes and tubing for implementing four hydraulic controls. Taskboard is available in 1/32 inch, 1/16 inch, and 1/8 inch thickness.Pitsco 34110 Laser-Cut Basswood T-Bot II Hydraulic Arm White is smoother and much better for forming.īasswood-tone has a rougher wood-like texture and produces superior results for surface etching by laser. Taskboard is available in White and Basswood-tone™. White glue and Sobo glue will work well on dry pieces of Taskboard. You may choose to sand the edges to smooth-out any cutting mistakes or to give the edges a softer, rounded look. You will be able to form tighter curves in the direction of the grain, and it is always best to work Taskboard gently or wrap it over a cylindrical object before you create your shape. Some shapes will need to be held with string, rubber bands or hot glue until dry. Yet if you lightly spray both sides with water, you will be able to form and shape it into curvilinear 3D objects that will become rigid when dry.Īll sheets are formable except 1/8” thick sheets.įor faster drying use a hair dryer, or place in front of a room fan. Taskboard is stable, flat and will not warp. With scissors, craft-knife, or laser cutter - these low-density sheets are extremely easy to cut.įor those using a laser cutter, Taskboard® facilitates minimal, light-colored Taskboard is a low-density sheet material made from sustainable forestry wood.
