Robot Art

So Tuesday I had the students in my robotics class attach a marker to their robot and attempt to draw a figure 8 on a large sheet of butcher paper.

After many attempts and minor tweeks, most of them were able to draw a shape that could be identified as an 8.  It was good for them to see how planning and preparation payed off more than just trial and error.

At the end of class I instructed them to clean up  and throw out the paper, but they insisted on keeping this lovely display of “art” which is now hanging in my classroom.

One group even signed it and titled it “Robot Art.” Someday you may find this hanging in a museum. Remember, you saw it here first!
