I can program a machine to complete work.

Bee-Bot Snow Plow

We are going to apply the design process to our Bee-bots. Students are going to design a Snow Plow attachment for their Bee-bot. We will then tape it to our bots and test it plowing the "snow" we put in front of it. Students will determine how well their design works by how many cotton 'snow' balls their plow is able to "pick" up.
