Before we continue with Arduino projects, we will focus on creating guideliness for our Battlebot Competition. I want you to have the opportunity to build the rules and structure of the competition.
Class discussion- what’s the point of Battlebots in class?
What you will do:
1. work with a partner – or solo – and review the rule & guideline ideas that you shared in class. Click here to see an anonymous version of your ideas.
2. consider which ideas are meaningful and a good fit for our competition.
3. Login to this Padlet (click here) with your school username and password.
4. Add your favorite ideas to the Padlet under the most relevant (fitting) category. Each person (not group) should add at least three ideas to the Padlet.

Worktime
I need three simple test robots to be built:
Robot 1- how much weight can a two-motor robot pull?
Robot 2- test the black servos and the blue servos to see how easily each one can flip an object.
Robot 3- IR sensor placement – where is the best place and orientation on the robot?
Otherwise, you may continue your assigned work.
