Pathway: Nuclear Robotics? It is LOGICAL
Nuclear Robotics Cause & Effect NETA
   

A simple maze is a fun challenge - but what can it teach you about the importance of following instructions? Using the Sphero robot, an iPad, a few colored cups and a serious amount of logic you will teach this robot to accomplish the maze.

Here are a few things you might need to accomplish the robot maze challenge:

Sphero Robot

Sphero SPRK App

Different colored cups

Mobile device linked to Sphero

Room to roll!


Want to make it even more of a challenge? Use the Cooper Nuclear Station cutaway to build a path for the Sphero to inspect the fuel core!
