Re: Screw Task
Similar stuff here:
A kid uses wire loop to hang a weight on the horizontal screw. When the screw rotates, the wire loop will move to the end of screw and drop to trigger something.
I told him that you may have difficulty to convince the ES that your screw is pushing the wire loop, maybe you can make the wire loop thicker into a something looks like a nut.

Re: Screw Task
I’d guess the simple machine definition, but to be safe, I’d use something that is labeled as a screw by the manufacturer.Stestra00 wrote:What do they catagorize as a screw? Is it the simple machine definition, or the standard definition?

Re: Screw Task
What I have for my screw task is I have looped a string around the screw twice, have one end attached to a weight pulling down, and another end to an object on a ledge/platform. When the weight falls, it turns to screw and pulls the object off the ledge/platform. Would this work for this task?

How exactly are you pulling the object on the platform?Shr3D wrote:What I have for my screw task is I have looped a string around the screw twice, have one end attached to a weight pulling down, and another end to an object on a ledge/platform.

Re: Screw Task
I would wrap the screw more than 2 times... It is a minimum that it turns twice, but the more turns it does, the more predictable, and less exact you need to be (also, it saves you a potential touch)Shr3D wrote:What I have for my screw task is I have looped a string around the screw twice, have one end attached to a weight pulling down, and another end to an object on a ledge/platform.

Also it needs to move the object 2 cm before trigger next action.C8H10N4O2! wrote:I would wrap the screw more than 2 times...

Re: Screw Task
But it does, right? It pulls the object off the ledge, which then probably moves more. I dont like this rule because it never says the screw has to directly 'initiate' the next action, which implies that it indirectly can...jinhusong wrote:Also it needs to move the object 2 cm before trigger next action.C8H10N4O2! wrote:I would wrap the screw more than 2 times...

Re: Screw Task
I have a screw holding an object in place on a ledge, the screw rotates (moves less than 2 cm), and the object falls, mostly by force of gravity. It depends on how you explain it, but MIT, my state ES, and Cornell all had no problems with it.jinhusong wrote:My understanding, the screw has to pull the object 2 cm before the object fell off the ledge.C8H10N4O2! wrote:But it does, right?
