Performing Teaching & Playback Tasks
This topic introduces how to perform a teaching & playback task to suck or grab a small cube.
Because a suction cup kit or a gripper kit is required, we will explain them first.

A suction cup kit is the default end-effector shipped with the Dobot Magician. When using the
suction cup kit, an air pump is necessary, as shown in Figure 5.6.
