How might you build a robot that can sort LEGOs by color?

One of my MS students took this idea and ran with it.

How might you build a security robot?

I’ve asked my HS Robotics 2 students to create a sentry bot that can patrol and area autonomously and driver controlled. I asked that it have a ‘threat response.’ One group took that idea and ran with it!

A HS student’s Medbot, delivering medication to different rooms in a hospital mock up.

Almost there. It’s speedy but not too precise. Yet.

Another fantastic color sorting robot from one of my middle schoolers. The use of multiple motors and moving parts is great.

It’s not working perfectly yet, but it’s almost there.

A pretty amazing color sorting robot from one of my middle schoolers.

The challenge was to sort 4 colors in distinct locations. #robotics #stem #lego

How might you build a robot that can sort 4 different colors into 4 unique areas? A challenge for my MS robotics students. We used LEGO Spike Primes for this challenge.

Throwback to one of my favorite engineering projects to do with middle schoolers. Make a cardboard chair that can support a student. Bonus if it can support me.

I gave my HS Robotics students a challenge. Build a small and maneuverable robot to deliver medicine to patients. This group clearly succeeded. #robotics #stem #design

I’m trying to post here more.

Here’s a recent video of my robotics students creating a robot to solve a maze with a distance sensor.
