This page is going to list some possible projects that students can do with BoeBots and various additions (such as sensors and actuators). Project ideas will be broken down into three categories: Class projects (for all students in a class), Group projects (for small teams of students) and individual projects. It will be up to the instructor to determine whether students can select their own ideas, or whether the projects will be assigned.
Class Projects
Group Projects
Individual Projects
Wired Controller
Use a cheap wired controller, such as a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, or a game controller to create a "remote" for the BoeBot. BoeBot should be able to go forward, backward, left, or right on command. If additional buttons are available, you can use them to control actuators, or to alter the robot's speed.
Maze Navigation
Using a sensor such as an ultrasonic sensor, create a robot that can navigate a maze. The paths in the maze should all be wide enough so that the robot can easily fit down any path. Robot should navigate the maze using sensor data, not preprogrammed maps.
