This week our sir asked us to create something that we would find on a building site. Myself and Jordan decided to build a forklift. At the start we didn't know where to begin! But then we remembered about pulleys and elastics. We started to try things out. We built the two forks first and then attached them to the RCX box.We levelled the beams and put 4 big 8 hole beams. We built four of them and then we put them over the beam. We put the RCX box on, then it was level. We tried to see would it lift anything up?
We put a pencil on it and it lifted it up.Then we tried to put a rubber and a pencil on it and it lifted it up. We put four wheels on it and attached the jumped leads on to the RCX, we made it go along the floor backwards and forwards. It will help us lift things up on the building site like little pallets and other things.We our going to build a building site.
Then we could enter some competition. It is a really clever idea. Other boys are making a little cement mixer so if it needs to be moved anywhere the fork lifter will do it for us. We have a crane to lift up bricks an other things.
