    machines use energy to perform tasks like pressing or stamping materials, like
                     real machines in factories.

                     Observation

                     When the power press machine is switched on, the motor rotates, causing the
                     press to move down and apply force to an object. The press flattens or presses

                     the object, and when the machine is turned off, the motion stops, showing how
                     the motor controls both the movement and the force of the press.

                     Construct a Waving Robot

                     To make a waving robot, we can use links (like arms) and joints (like elbows) to

                     create movement. Here’s a simple explanation of how the mechanism works:

                     1. Base and Arm

                            The robot has a base to stand on.
                            Attached to the base is an arm made up of two parts (links). These parts

                            are connected by a joint that allows the arm to bend and move.

                     2. Motor Power

                            A small motor is connected to the joint. The motor provides the power to
                            move the arm.

                            When the motor turns on, it rotates the joint, making the arm move up
                            and down like it’s waving.

                     3. Links and Joints

                            The two parts of the arm are called links.

                            The joint between them acts like an elbow, allowing the arm to move back

                            and forth. The motor controls this movement.
                     4. Movement

                            As the motor turns, it moves the joint, which causes one link to move up
                            and down.

                            This creates a waving motion as one part of the arm stays attached to the
                            base, and the other part moves up and down.

                     5. Repeating Action

                            The motor can be set to move continuously, which makes the robot wave
                            repeatedly.
