Beetle Bot
Follow the directions below and construct the Beetle Bot. Make sure that your bot is able to move forward and you do not get any glue on the paddle switches. Be careful that you do not wire the bot incorrectly or the battery will overheat. This is not a 10 minute activity. Follow the diagram carefully. Glue or attach each piece carefully.
Challenge: In the Beetle Bot Arena, challenge another team. First team to pass through the obstacles to the end wins. Each team must make modifications to any flaws that were seen in the race. Write a reflection on what your design flaws were and how you modified your bot. Did your modifications improve your final bot? Make a presentation to the class about your bot.
