Minds in Motion: Forklift Robot and/or Robotic Arm Technology

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Minds in Motion is offering two hands-on engineering programs for grades 5-8.

Hydraulic Arm was discontinued as of Feb 25; Robotic Arm Technology has been substituted.

Minds in Motion: Forklift Robot, 9am-noon
  • Experience the best of robotic technology by assembling and taking home your very own Forklift Robot!
  • Using the wired controller, you can command the robot to move forward, backward, turn, grip, lift, and lower. This amazing robot is like a mini industrial fork lift, with the ability to lift up to 100 grams in weight! Using a cardboard pallet, you will create your own material to move to your desired location. You can compete with your classmates on who can transfer it the quickest!
  • This 3 in 1 robot kit also allows you to create and recreate. Put your robot together and take it apart to create the other two modules, the rover and the gripper! Just like a real engineer, you will put your mind in motion with intelligent thinking. You will also compete in our Minds in Motion robotic battles, free building with hundreds of robotic parts!
  • Running 9am-noon. Full day option available when signing up for Combo class.

Minds in Motion: Robotic Arm Technology, 1-4pm
  • Formerly Hydraulic Arm, which has been discontinued.
  • Experience the best of robotic technology by assembling and taking home your very own Robotic Arm Edge! The Robotic Arm Edge consists of five motors used to move its wrist, elbow, and base. Using the five-switch remote, you can learn how to lift and drop items with an amazing vertical reach of 15 inches and horizontal reach of 12.6 inches. Command the gripper to open and close and use your robotic arm to lift a capacity of 100 grams! WOW! Added features include a search light design on the gripper and a safety gear audible indicator on all five gear boxes to prevent any potential injury or gear breakage during operation. You will also compete in our Minds in Motion robotic battles free building with hundreds of robotic parts!
  • Running 1-4pm. Full day option available when signing up for combo class.
