Race Robots Above the Floor
Inspired by the DARPA grand challenge robot vehicles that raced across 100 miles of desert, this kit engages students in building robots to race around an elevated obstacle course. The objective is to design and build a robot capable of moving quickly through the course and programmed to avoid obstacles. Includes pegboard pieces in different shapes for the driving surface, wooden blocks to support pegboard off the floor, wooden obstacles, and lights for robots to hone-in on.
