The+Amazing+Beetlebot

=Does changing the type of surface (rough, smooth etc) change how quickly a beetle-bot can dodge (reverse away from) stationery objects?By Emryk and Kavel= =  __Task 1: Answer these Question__  = > **1.** Cut the electric wire in pieces of 6 cm each, 13 times. > Strip 1 cm at each end. > **2.** Regroup all the the parts > **3.** Solder each wire to each components except the two batteries. > **4.** Take the battery holder and make a connection to the connection. > This will give a third connection.See picture below. > > The blue wire is the third connections > **5.** Turn the battery holder up side down so the batteries point to the ground. Glue the two switches on the battery holder in a V form. > **6.** Glue the motor beside each switch so that the shaft touches the ground > **7**. Take the big paperclip and make the caster like the picture below. > You can make a nice looking caster or a normal one > > **9.** Take the small paper clip and bend them to make antenna. > Glue them to the switches and don’t put to much glue. > Add 1 cm of heat shrink to the shaft of each motor. > **10.** Add the batteries in the battery holder and put it on a flat surface //to see your the robot move!// > > >
 * 1) How to build the robot? [[image:Photo_on_2011-09-06_at_13.57_#2.jpg width="320" height="240" align="right"]]
 * 8.** How to make the connection
 * 1) Why does the beetlebot change direction? The bettle bot has a special switch in in so when the robots antenna's hit something the motors go in reverse.
 * 2) Who invented the beetlebot? Lucas Carry was one of the creators of the bettle bot.

==  __Task 2: List your independent, dependent and controlled variables:__  ==

1. Independent variable: Change the surface it works best on.

2. Dependent variable: Stop Watch

3. Controlled variables: The same bettle bot.
