    Step 6  Connect the motor’s wire to the power distribution board
                              using  connecting  wires.  Then,  connect  the  power
                              distribution board to the remote board using a data cable.
                              Finally, plug the adapter into the socket and connect it to
                              the remote to power the Robo Fan.

                     Output

                     Robo Fan operates similarly to a table fan, converting electrical power into rotational motion to
                     produce airflow. This demonstrates how mechanical components can transform electrical energy
                     into cool air. This Robo Fan can work in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction.

                     Concepts

                      Understanding  Motion:  Learning  how  motors  create  movement  and  how  this  relates  to  the
                       motion of the fan blades.
                      Basic Measurements: Using measurements to determine the speed and efficiency of the fan.

                      Critical  Thinking  and  Problem  Solving:  Students  will  develop  troubleshooting  skills as  they
                       optimize their fan design.

                     Observations

                     In the “Robo Fan” Mechatron activity, students will observe how their robotic fan responds when
                     controlled by remote. When the power is on, they can see the fan blades spin, demonstrating how
                     motors work to create movement. Also, they learn about rotational motion. This activity reinforces
                     concepts of electronics and mechanics.

                     Application

                     Windmill: A windmill  uses wind  power,  which  is renewable  energy,  to  do
                     different jobs. It usually has big blades on a tall tower or post. When the wind
                     blows, the blades spin. This spinning can make electricity, pump water from
                     wells, grind grain into flour, or water crops.

                     Building a Robo Soccer

                     Robo Soccer is an exciting game where robots play soccer against each other or form a team! These
                     robots are designed to move, kick, and even strategize to score goals against each other. But how
                     do they do this? Let’s explore the mechanical engineering principles that make Robo Soccer possible!
