LEGO Robotics – Session 8 – Pneumatic Scissor Lift+ Coding

Instruction

In this session, we’ll build the scissor lift and add some coding to it and have some fun.

Build Scissor Lift

First, let’s build the scissor lift as per this link: Scissor Lift (lego.com)

The building instruction is also available here:

Add our Spike Prime Kit

Distance Sensor Adapter

First we build an adapter so that the distance sensor can detect whether the platform is up or down

We simply attach it to the top platform like this

Distance Sensor and Switch

Now we connect our motor to the switch, which is a bit cool 😉

Coding

This is our coding for this project

Final result

The final result looks like this 🙂
