ScooterArt

Description

Our ScooterArt Kit lets students build their own robotic "Jackson Pollock" to explore many principles of engineering and robotics. Each bot stands on three legs made of water-soluble markers and relies upon a battery-operated pulsating motor to slide and skitter around, leaving a colorful trail behind. What happens if you change the length of one (or more) leg? Change the motor's orientation or weight? Can you make your bot travel in a straight line? In a circle? Dozens of variables mean hours of open-ended experimentation! Single kit contains a DC motor, 2 AA batteries, 3 felt-tip markers, 6 double-sided adhesive foam squares, a plastic cup and instruction sheet with project ideas. Marker colors may vary.
