Bionic Arms

TryEngineering.org presents the Bionic Arm Design Challenge, tinyurl.com/nb9slec. You might have seen bionic arms in superhero movies. They are designed to integrate with the nervous system, functioning as human arms. First, Learn to Build a Bionic Arm, then Analyze an Existing Arm. You’ll be given a budget of $26,000 to build your own arm. Choose your components carefully, because your arm will need to pass the envelope, dexterity and weight tests. Once you’ve completed each task, you’ll have one more challenge: If your bionic arm can build a brick wall, you’ve mastered this game!
