ADM Python Practice • Practice 1

Coordinate Setup & Variable Control

Use variables and coordinate math to create a configurable simulated pickup sequence.

Practice Assignment

What You Need to Do

Create variables for pickup X, Y, Z and a safe Z height.
Calculate the safe Z position from the pickup Z plus an offset rather than typing the safe height directly.
Print the pickup position and calculated safe height.
Use the variables in at least three arm.move_to() commands.
Modify one variable and verify that the simulated movement output changes without rewriting the movement commands.

Modify the starter code until all required behaviors work. No physical Workcell is needed.

Output & Errors

Predict what will happen, then click Run Code.

Tip: Press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to run. The mock arm prints simulated Workcell actions instead of controlling hardware.

Success Criteria

The program contains no hard-coded duplicate pickup coordinates inside the movement commands.
The safe height is calculated using variables.
The output clearly shows the coordinate values before movement.
Changing pickup_x changes every movement that depends on it.
