SAFE-STOP ROBOTS SUPPLIES - PER ROBOT Yogurt cup (or plastic cup) 2 x1.5 copper tape 3 Red wire 4 Black wire 5 Black wire 1.5V motor (try AllElectronics.com) 1/3 Hot glue stick AA Battery (try BatteriesAndButter.com) 1 Foam Tape 2 Foam Tape SUPPLIES TO SHARE Masking tape Wire strippers/cutters Scissors Ruler (if supplies aren t pre-cut)
1. CUT WIRES & STRIP - INCH FROM EACH END Save 2 of the stripped rubber stubs! 3 Red wire 4 Black wire 5 Black wire 2. POKE MOTOR SHAFT THROUGH GLUE STICK SEGMENT, OFF CENTER
4. ATTACH COPPER TAPE TO BOTH SIDES OF CUP USING RUBBER NUBS TO RAISE COPPER ABOVE RIM Keep ~1 along outside, to tape wires to later (CUT-AWAY VIEW)
3. PUT RED WIRE THROUGH RIGHT TAB, AND 5 BLACK WIRE THROUGH LEFT TAB Keeping colors consistent makes it easier to troubleshoot students projects.
5. USE FOAM TAPE TO ATTACH BATTERY AND MOTOR TO CUP IN A T SHAPE Use ~1 for motor Use ~2 for battery Put positive side to right Ensure glue tick has clearance (BIRD S EYE VIEW CUP UPSIDE-DOWN)
6. TAPE ATTACH RED WIRE TO POSITIVE SIDE OF BATTERY, AND SHORT (4 ) BLACK WIRE TO NEGATIVE SIDE (BIRD S EYE VIEW CUP UPSIDE-DOWN)
7. TAPE SHORT BLACK WIRE TO COPPER TAPE ON LEFT, AND TAPE LONG BLACK WIRE TO COPPER TAPE ON RIGHT We tape the wire to the non- adhesive side of the copper tape because it conduct electricity better. (BIRD S EYE VIEW CUP UPSIDE-DOWN)
8: CREATE BOARD FOR ROBOT Use foam board, poster board, or two pieces of card stock taped together. Tape aluminum foil on Optional: Make split between two sides, and have students explain why the robot won t move, even if both sides are touching metal.
