Open Challenge
Specifications:
This needs to be your own design. You are encouraged to research and find examples of what others have already done, but your final product should be your own: not a copy of someone else’s idea.
You will create a diary to show evidence of:
The research you did,
How you came up with the idea for your design (try brainstorms, flowcharts, drawings, etc),
Planning your design and program (justify why you made the decisions you made),
Pictures of your build along the way,
Anything else you want to share about your design.
Your robot will not be remote controlled, you should use hardware and write a program that enables it to be autonomous.
You can use any electronics and build methods for your robots: Arduino, EV3, Raspberry Pi, 3D printing, old milk bottles… Get creative!
Don’t forget to have fun!
Submission:
This should include:
a video (max 5 minutes) of you demonstrating your robotic creation.
Include an introduction where each team member discusses their role in the team,
A discussion about why you think your robotic creation is awesome
Describe the features that you built/programmed into the robot, and why they’re special
Each team member should discuss what they found the hardest, and what they enjoyed the most about this challenge.
Your robot in action.
A document (.pdf is best) with all your supporting evidence, outlined in (2.) in the specifications. It is helpful for us if you include photos of the robot in this document so we can see how well it has been built.
