Cardboard Hydraulic Arm Project
You are making a cardboard robot arm that has at least three hydraulic systems to control its movements so you can rescue object and people from the radioactive zone.
The arm needs to move:
1. Up and Down
2. Right and Left
3. Scoop opens and closes
4. Pick up and move an object
