Question:
Can
your
team
function
successfully
and
build
a
mini-robot
that
is
capable
of
navigating
numerous
mazes?
Introduction
to
Bristlebots
During
this
team
building
exercise
you
will
be
collaborating
with
your
peers
to
design
and
build
a
robotic
insect,
also
known
as
a
Bristlebot,
and
a
Maze
(obstacle
track).
The
Bristlebot
you
build
will
be
put
to
the
test
by
having
to
navigate
through
the
Maze
of
opposing
teams.

Combine
your
Maze
with
three
other
teams
and

4
Mazes.
Have
your
Bristlebot
navigate
through

What
are
we
Learning:
You
will
be
learning
how
to
successfully
function
as
a
team
to
build
a
mini-robot
and
maze
for
the
robot.
Required
Materials:
vibrator
motor
from
cell
phone
with
wires
attached,
toothbrush,
small
battery,
double-sided
tape,
and
other
unique
design
materials
of
your
choice
Remember,
the
team
MUST
design
their
Bristlebot
to
match
the
theme
of
their
maze
(see
Task
2).
Remember
to
document
all
steps
of
this
process
with
pictures
and
videos.
Theme
of
Maze
Once
teams
are
chosen,
you
will
need
to
come
up
with
a
theme
for
your
maze.
This
theme
should
be
evident
in
the
design
of
your
Maze
and
Bristlebot.
Your
team
members
can
bring
in
extra
material
if
needed,
such
as:
mini
plastic
animals,
legos,
blocks,
candy,
or
Barbies.
Theme
Example:
The
Botfly
Barbies
should
have
Barbie
throughout
their
maze
and
their
Bristlebot
should
sort
of
resemble
a
Barbie
doll.
Designing
the
Maze
Maze
Criteria:
Each
team
will
design
a
maze
with
a
given
square.
Each
team
will
come
up
with
a
theme
for
the
design
of
their
maze.
Maze
walls
must
be
spaces
at
least
4
inches
apart
from
each
other
throughout
the
entire
course.
Maze
wall
must
be
2
to
4
inches
tall.
Maze
must
include
at
least
2
smooth
curves.
There
must
be
a
minimum
of
3
different
obstacles
that
correlate
with
your
teams
theme.
The
Maze
must
be
flat.
Keep
in
mind
that
your
Maze
will
be
combined
with
three
other
Mazes.
Community
Criteria:
Each
Community
will
consist
of
4
Mazes.
Each
Community
will
have
to
develop
an
overall
Theme
that
combines
the
individual
themes
of
the
four
separate
Mazes.

What
are
we
Learning:
You
will
be
learning
about
Einsteins
famous
quote
Energy
cannot
be
created
or
destroyed,
it
can
only
be
changed
from
one
form
to
another.
How
are
we
learning
this
topic:
By
conducting
scientific
research,
you
will
address
the
problem
below.
Your
response
should
be
at
least
two
professionally
written
paragraphs
providing
well-thought
out
answers
OR
a
properly
labeled
concept-diagram
that
can
be
uploaded
or
scanned.
Regardless
of
the
option
chosen,
your
response
should
(a)
include
evidence
of
the
in-depth
scientific
research,
(b)
include
citations
of
the
scientific
research,
and
(c)
be
submitted
to
Google
Classroom
by
the
due
date.
Background:
The
battery
stores
potential
energy
in
the
form
of
chemical
bonds.
When
those
chemical
bonds
are
broken,
electrons
start
moving
and
electrical
energy
is
formed.
That
electrical
energy,
consisting
of
electrons
running
down
the
wires,
creates
kinetic
motion
(energy
of
motion)
in
the
motor
that
is
called
mechanical
energy.
Heat
energy
is
also
created
by
the
motor
which
is
energy
lost.
Problem:
Your
battery
no
longer
has
any
potential
energy
stored
in
it.
What
can
you
do
to
make
your
Bristlebot
work?
(Buying
a
new
battery
is
not
an
option.)
Explain
the
new
energy
transfer
process.
Design
and
refine
a
device
that
works
within
given
constraints
to
convert
one
form
of
energy
into
another
form
of
energy.
