Class 2

1. Drawing Bot
Materials Needed:

 Markers (choose ones with bright, vibrant


colors)
 Simple Motors (small DC motors will work
well)
 Battery Pack (to power the motors)
 Chassis or Base (can be a piece of cardboard,
plastic, or anything sturdy)
 Wheels or Legs (to enable movement)
 Tape or Glue (for assembly)
 Switch (to control the motors)
 Craft Materials (for additional
customization)

Steps to Build:

1. Create the Base: Attach wheels or legs to your chassis for stability. This will act as the
bot's body.
2. Add Motors: Secure one or more motors to the base. These will provide the movement
for your bot. Connect the motors to the wheels if your bot needs to roll.
3. Attach Markers: Place markers at the edges of the bot so that their tips touch the surface
when the bot moves. Ensure they're firmly attached but can still draw smoothly.
4. Connect the Battery Pack: Wire the motors to the battery pack. Add a switch in the
circuit for easy control of the bot's movement.
5. Test and Adjust: Power up the bot and adjust the markers' positions or motor speed if
needed to ensure it draws effectively.
6. Customize: Decorate your bot with craft materials to give it some personality!

As the bot moves, the markers will leave colorful trails, creating unique patterns. You can
experiment with the placement of markers and the bot's movement to achieve different designs.
2. Bristle Robot

Materials Needed:

 Toothbrush head (cut the handle off a toothbrush)


 Vibrating motor (from a pager or small device, or a hobby motor with a counterweight)
 Battery (a small coin cell battery works well)
 Double-sided tape or glue (for assembly)
 Craft materials (optional, to decorate your bristlebot)
 Googly eyes, pipe cleaners (optional for personality!)

Steps to Build:

1. Prepare the Toothbrush Head: Cut off the handle, leaving just the bristled part.
2. Attach the Motor: Secure the vibrating motor on top of the toothbrush head using
double-sided tape or glue.
3. Connect the Battery: Attach the coin cell battery to the motor, connecting the wires.
Tape it down to keep everything secure.
4. Test Your Bristlebot: When the motor is powered, the vibrations will make the bristles
move, causing the bristlebot to skitter around!
5. Customize: Decorate your bristlebot with googly eyes, pipe cleaners, or other craft
materials to give it character.
3. Walking Robot

Materials Needed:

 DC motors (2 small motors)


 Battery pack (AA batteries or a 9V battery)
 Switch (to control the power)
 Chassis (use lightweight materials like cardboard,
plastic, or wood)
 Legs (you can use ice cream sticks, straws, or
skewers)
 Glue gun (for assembling parts)
 Wire and soldering kit (for connections)
 Rubber bands (optional, for grip or flexibility)

Steps to Build:

1. Design the Base:


o Create a simple rectangular base using your chosen material (cardboard, plastic,
etc.).
o Ensure the base is sturdy enough to hold all components.
2. Prepare the Legs:
o Attach ice cream sticks, straws, or skewers as legs. Bend or cut them at the ends if
needed to mimic walking motion.
o Ensure they are balanced to avoid the robot tipping over.
3. Attach Motors:
o Fix two small DC motors on each side of the base. These will drive the movement
of the legs.
o Attach the legs to the motor shafts securely.
4. Set Up the Circuit:
o Connect the battery pack to the motors through a switch. Use wires to establish
proper connections.
o Ensure the wiring is correct: one battery lead to the switch, and the switch output
to the motor.
5. Test the Walking Motion:
o Turn on the switch and watch the legs move! The alternating motion of the motors
should make the robot "walk."
6. Fine-Tune:
o Adjust the position and length of the legs for smoother walking.
o Add rubber bands to the legs' tips for better grip on surfaces.
7. Customize:
o Decorate your robot with eyes, stickers, or other crafts to give it personality.
4. Water Alarm

Materials Needed:

 Buzzer (a small 9V buzzer works well)


 Battery (9V battery with a connector)
 Wires (to connect the components)
 Probes (can be metal pins, nails, or wires)
 Tape or glue (to secure components)
 Small container (optional, for testing)

Steps to Build:

1. Prepare the Probes:


o Take two metal probes (pins, nails, or wires) and position them close to each other
but not touching. These will detect water.
2. Connect the Circuit:
o Attach one wire from the positive terminal of the battery to one of the probes.
o Connect the other probe to the positive terminal of the buzzer.
o Finally, connect the negative terminal of the buzzer to the negative terminal of the
battery.
3. Test the Alarm:
o Place the probes in a small container or water tank. When water touches both
probes, it completes the circuit, and the buzzer will sound.
4. Secure the Components:
o Use tape or glue to secure the probes and other components in place.

How It Works:
When water bridges the gap between the probes, it conducts electricity, completing the circuit
and activating the buzzer. This simple setup can be used to detect water levels or prevent
overflow.
