Finch 2.0 Robotics Maze Project
In this project students design a maze, build a maze, then code for a robot to go through the maze as fast as possible (using Snap!). For this project you will need Finch 2.0 Robots from Birdbrain technologies as well as a microbit & cord. I would recommend using bulletin board paper for the mazes. This project usually takes my 7th graders about 2 weeks to complete and they absolutely love it. I hope your students will too!

VEX IQ - Build a better Claw
This claw performs much better than the claw of the standard VEX IQ Clawbot. 1. Due to the 1:3 gear ratio, it is easier to control and has more torque. 2. The only place where torque is transferred by a shaft, is from the motor to the drive gear. All other torque transfers are done via gears and connectors – making it much sturdier. 3. It is a very compact design.
