Intro

Today we will test different support wheels and determine which one is most suitable for a robot that we will send to the moon.

The robot on the moon will be powered by a solar battery, but that means it has very little electricity and must not waste much of it to turn and navigate. You will need to find which support wheel resists the least when turning.

Another terrible problem would be if the robot got stuck. It will be too expensive to send a mechanic to the moon to help him. We will have to determine which wheels would get stuck easily in a small hole and which wheel can the robot pull out.

All teams should build different third wheels after which students can swap them.

At the end of the lesson, the most successful teams will be awarded a bonus task!
