Materials needed:

Ever wanted to make a low-tech, autonomous drawing robot? Well, here is your chance. See if you can make it draw circles, spirals, or other shapes by changing your botâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design again and again.

How about you try out programming a fully functional robot with a block programing language called Scratch! In this challenge you get to build a robot, and then tell it what to do.

Markers, tape, plastic bottles, cups or other light yet rigid material. Batteries, a DC motor, rubber bands and other craft supplies.

Mbot V1.1 robotics platform, makers, craft and construction materials

Once you have that done, figure out how to add a marker on to the robot and have it draw some uniquely yours art or text!

https://vimeo.com/15800 3257 Learn to program with Arduino and make your drawbot create shapes of your design. Can you build a bot that can write your name? Or one that draws based on a mathematical algorithm? The challenge is up to you.

Arduino 101, servos, DC hobby motors, breadboard, wheels, batteries, jumper wires, motors, gator clips, cardboard, scissors, markers and other craft/construction materials.

Explore If you haven’t watched your intro video, take a look at it now and see what type of drawing bot you want to create. We suggest starting with Option A or Option B and then moving up fromthere. Using the table on the previous page, gather project materials needed for your specific option with your coach’s permission. .

Open, Examine andInventory Explore your technology pieces for 15 minutes. See if you can make it work without breakingit. If you need extra guidance, talk with your coach. If you find that you need specific skills to continue on (especially for option B and C challenges), please jump ahead to the “how to” DIY guides or install sheets, and/or use the bridge tutorials to help you out.

Acquire

Pause for five minutes to evaluate yourproject. On a scale 1 of 1-5, how excited are youabout this project? Circle the 2 best answer. 3 4 5

= Not at all excited = It’s Ok = Just going to try it out = Maybe a bit excited orinterested = Super Excited

TryIt Out Take 30 minutes and get as far as you can in these mini/test challenges. This time is meant to give you a chance to explore your materials and see what you know and what you need to learn more of! At the end of the 30 minute mini challenge share what you learned with another person and get feedback. Also answer the question below or in your Innovation Journal. Mini/TestChallenge Option A Using the resources below, see if you can get your drawbot to scribble some lines on a blank piece of paper. This will be your first iteration. If you really want to challenge yourself, try to build it with no directions at all. Here’s a good video on how a drawbot (or scribble bot) works. http://www.instructables.com/id/Make -a- Scribbling-Machine/

Option B If your mBot isn’t already assembled then please put it together. http://learn.makeblock.com/mbot-getstarted/ Install the app/software and see what you can make you mBot do: http://learn.makeblock.com/mbotresource-download/

Option C Before you get started making your own drawbot, you should take a look at what types of drawbots other people have created. MAKE magazine has a great overview that can be found here: http://makezine.com/2016/04/06/6-ofour- favorite-drawbot-projects/

Q: Now that you’ve explored what your drawbot platform can do, what skills do think you need to brush up on or learn for the first time?

Develop

Mindsets: Iteration and the Design Process

Design Time Out — Iterative Design Process: Learn about the Iterative Design Process and how to use it.

Take some time to further explore design thinking, rapid prototyping especially iteration with the information below: • Designing thinking overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpd7uov5UM0 • What is the iteration process and how does it relate to coding of your robot? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyuE47Hv60k • Finally, here is a great video to watch that shows you how a robotic team made their robot better and better through using the iterative process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhMUcOrYecc

Q: How will you use the iterative process to make your drawing bot better and better? List at least two ideas or draw a couple sketchesbelow.

Create Create aPlan In this section, you get to jump into your project. Here a few things you should think about before you get started: • Do you like the option that you’ve picked? If not, maybe look at a differentoption. • Do you have all of the skills needed to build this project? If not, use the Bridge Topic List to get you the skills you need. • Do you have enough time right now to build your first prototype? If not, how will you store it so you can work on it later? Create a Prototype Use the tutorial options below to start building! • Collect your materials. • Read or watch the tutorial below. • Start to build. Based on your project option, learn how to use your drawbot platform using these great tutorials to make your first prototype.

Best How-to Tutorials Option A The Exploratorium does a great job at showing you how to build a few versions of a scribblebot. Start here and you should be ready to go. http://tinkering.exploratorium.edu/si tes/default/files/Instructions/scribbl ing_machines.pdf This site will give you a step-by-step guide on how to build a drawbot of their design. Use this guide only if you want a step-by-step guide on building your bot. https://snapguide.com/guides/build -a-scribbling-machine/

Option B During the mini challenge we hope you had a chance to explore your mBot. Now that it is assembled and you have the software set up, see if you can make it move. Here is a nice little tutorial to help you get programing: http://learn.makeblock.com/en/getti ng-started-programming-withmblock/ Once you get the hang of it, add a maker, some paper, and see what you can draw with your mBot!

Option C Here are two drawbots that use a basic Arduino, wheels, motors and a pen to make a robot draw. • Drawbot Idea 1) http://www.instructables.com/id/ Ard uino-Drawbot/?ALLSTEPS • Drawbot Idea 2) http://www.instructables.com/id/ Dra wbot-10/ • Drawbot Idea 3) How about you search the Internet for: “arduino drawbot how to tutorial” and see what you find. • Go create your own!

Pause and Sketch Watch this quick video and learn about technical drawings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXgkBadGHEE Now, print out one of these 3-view drawing sheets and use it to help you sketch a drawing of your drawbot, add some labels and see what other participants in your class think about your ideas. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0D-2fBKGN7yS2VXTU5NVHZPS00/view?usp=sharing Want more practice with technical drawing? Take a look at these links below. If not, jump ahead and see what you can make. A short course on how to draw in 3-view for technicalpurposes: http://www.technologystudent.com/prddes1/orthogrp1.html An overview of what techincal 3-view (orthographic projection) is used for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview_orthographic_projection Implement Your Plan: Now that you have built a first idea of your option A, B, or C we want you to try to change it. Can you make it blink differently? Or use a better sensor or trigger? Think on of how you can make it better and then: • Build another prototype, • Evaluate it, • And then, make it better.

Q: What additional skills, background knowledge, etc. do you need in order to make your next version more successful?

Now, build a third prototype (if you have time) Can you refine your design even more? Try to make your object even better in form or function by making another iteration of your prototype. • Build it. • Evaluate it and discuss your refinements with your group.

Q: What worked out the way you planned? What didn’t?
