Crusher (robot)

A crusher robot is a robot that is built to do a very specific job. Its job is to crush things! The robot is usually made of strong metal parts and has a motor or two inside to give it power. It works by the robot grabbing whatever it needs to crush and then quickly closing down its metal arms around the object to crush it, like a giant pair of scissors crushing paper. Crusher robots are used in a lot of different places, like factories where big pieces of metal or other materials need to be crushed down into smaller pieces, or to help recycle old products by crushing them into small pieces that can be reused.
