   • Increase weight

   Hint

   Think about why robots need parts specifically designed for them.

4. 4.

   True or False: Interlocking components are used to create stability during material movement.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how puzzle pieces hold together.

5. 5.

   Design a scenario where interlocking components fail during robotic material handling. Discuss the implications and suggest solutions.

   Hint

   Consider the risks associated with material handling in construction.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the environmental impact of maximizing the use of magnet-assisted lifting in construction projects.

   Hint
