Versailles Ag Ed Mechanical Principles students have been studying and learning the principles of Hydraulics and Pneumatics.
After studying the subject in the classroom, the students were challenged in the laboratory with building their own can crusher or robot that performed several key features like picking up a cup, moving up and down and side to side. Students worked themselves or pairs of 2 or 3 to build their projects using scrap wood and materials in the ag ed shop along with hoses, T’s and syringes.
In addition to building the projects, students also completed a peer review and wrote a written report on their hydraulic projects including the advantages, disadvantages and how their project worked.
1st Period winners of the Mechanical Principles Can Crusher Hydraulic Project were Eli Keiser, Landen Starkey and Cole Brewer.
1st Period winners of the Mechanical Principles Robot Hydraulic Project were Eden Barga, Brooke Bergman and Ruthie Smith.
4th Period winners of the Mechanical Principles Can Crusher Hydraulic Project were Cole Williams, Xavier Simons and Colton Spradlin.
4th Period runners-up of the Mechanical Principles Robot Hydraulic Project were Cale DeMange and Patrick McGlinch.
