The Finished bot
How it works
The robot uses hydraulic pressure to move the arms, twist the bot, move the body up or down, and use the grippers. Syringes and tubes are used to contain the water. When you push or one syringe the other takes in that pressure making it move. The water is colored so that we can see where a leak is coming from.
