Abstract:
Geo-bot is a robot that can draw polygons and other shapes. It is a good project for teaching “Logo-like” (turtle math) procedures for drawing various shapes, solving mazes, and similar explorations. It is also a great taking-off point for exploring the area between mathematics and engineering. This is largely due to the fact that Lego robots tend to wobble, not turn precisely, and behave very differently depending on such real world conditions as floor surface, battery life, motor speed idiosyncrasies, gear friction and other such “gremlins”.
