Weather: A Snow Plow Edison Robot Challenge
by Monica Carrera-Wilburn
After completing a unit on weather, students will be challenged to research, design, construct and attach a snow plow to their Edison robot. Then they will create a scratch code that will navigate their robot through two intersecting roads avoiding obstacles and clearing off "snow" as they go.
