Teaching Electronics to Kids: Mechanically Programmed (no Circuit Board) Obstacle Avoiding Robot | #MakerED | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

About the Robot: This robot will run on tile, wood, laminate, low cut carpet, or other smooth surfaces. As it is designed, it will not work on extremely rough surfaces such as concrete, shag or tall carpet, grass, and such. The rough cost of this robot should be less than $10. On average, about $5~7 dollars if you look. You can find the majority of these parts on Amazon, salvage from Goodwill, garage sales, or other places..
