5th Grade's First Robotic Challenge!

Fifth grade used only the parts in their NXT Mindstorms kit to construct a chair for a beanie baby.  The chair had to survive an ankle-length drop and not fall apart.  It had to fit the beanie comfortably, and be an inch off the ground.  Specialized parts were also added such as cup holders, arm rests, massage devices, even automatic saws in order to cut wood without the beanie getting out of his/her chair.  We used iMovie Trailer to record our engineering ideas.  See below!  Awesome use of the engineering design process mixed with creativity!  Good job fifth grade!
