Upcycle Challenge – Design Your Dream Bot
General overview of this Challenge:
- Students will research and design a combat robot! They can sketch designs or use a CAD/3D modeling software to create their bot.
- They will collect materials to make their bot from supplies found at home. Actual bot parts or materials should not be used.
- They will manufacture and assemble their bot, including all systems (drive, weapon, power, and frame and armor).
- Photos of the completed prototypes can be shared with us!
- If possible, they can share a photo on social media (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram). Use the hashtags #BotsIQ and #UpcycleChallenge and tag us (@botsiqswpa) so we can find it!
- Or share a photo via our JotForm (https://form.jotform.com/conklin/upcycle-challenge)
