Construction
Base(Platform)
- Arm Complex
- 96-well plate holder(1 needed)
- Attach the position 1 of a 15-brick to the position 1 of a 13 brick.
- attach the position 1 of a 13-brick to the position 15 of the 15-brick.
- Attach a 15-brick to the position 11's of the two 13-bricks.(It should make it look like a parallelogram with two legs)
- Double Arms(2 needed)
- Arms(4 needed)
- Attach the position 1 of an 11-brick to the position 11 of another 11-brick.
- Numbering goess from top to bottom.
- Attach the position 5 of an arm to the position 1 of a 15-brick.
- Attach another arm's position 5 to the position 15 of the 15-brick.
- Numbering: Left arms are labeled as with a prime before(like '3, plural like '1's), right arms have a prime after (like 3', plural like 1"s), and the 15-brick is labeled as before.
- Arms(4 needed)
- Attach the left leg(end) of a plate holder to the '1's of two double arms(one above, one below).
- Attach the other leg to the 1"s of the double arms.(There isn't any choice for whether to put it above or below).
- 96-well plate holder(1 needed)
- NXT Brick Complex (1 needed)
- NXT Brick Sub-Complex (1 needed)
- Attach the 2-Sensor-Hole position of an NXT Brick to the 2-position of a 13-brick.
- Attach the 5-Sensor-Hole position of the NXT Brick to the 2-position of another 13-brick.
- Nxt-Brick numbers as before, the 13-brick on the 2-Sensor Hole position is the same with a prime before, and the other 13-brick has a prime after.
- Attach the 4-hole of a 11-brick to the '12 hole of the NXT Brick Subcomplex, and the 8-hole of the 11-brick to the 12'hole of the Subcomplex.
- Attach the 1-hole
- NXT Brick Sub-Complex (1 needed)
(more stuff here)
Pipet Holder
- Crossbeams(2 needed):
- Attach the center of an H-Bracket to position 2 of a 9-brick.
- Attach another H-bracket to the 9-brick in position 5.
- Put the crossbeams such that the H-Brackets are aligned.
- Attach two 9-bricks to the H-brackets, on the positive side of the other 9-bricks.(hole-hole)
- Attach a black H with a +-shaped hole in it to the 8,9 position on a non-crossbeam 9-brick.
- Push a 12-rod through the +-shaped hole.
- Put the following onto the rod: a full bushing, two worm-toothed gears(aligned), and another full bushing.
Features
Good Features
- Simple idea
Neutral Features
- Radial Coordinate System(CS)
- Can be argued as bad, since the 96-well plate well CS is difficult to convert to the Radial Coordinate System.
Bad Features
- Top-Heavy
- Front-Heavy:topples easy
- Small motor errors leads to big well errors
- The NXT Brick on the base is difficult to get out.
- Can get stuck easily.
