DESIGN BRIEF CHALLENGE

      Your final challenge will ask you to design, build, code, and test a Micro:bot-based robot that can perform an everyday task or solve a real-world problem.  Your solution will make use of what you've learned in this class as well as some creativity and problem-solving.  Your solution might involve the use of readily-available materials such as tape, cardboard, glue, or recyclable materials.
     The challenge will take the form of a Design Brief.  In a Design Brief, you are given the following information:
  • Problem Background
  • The Challenge
  • Criteria - certain things your robot must be able to do to successfully complete the challenge
  • List of materials
     For example you might be asked to code and build an autonomous vehicle that can mop up oil spills.
