Robotics Project
I’m trying to find someone to help create a 4 week robotic project for a new Stockade Module. The project that I had been putting together is simply too flaky and too difficult for Stockade age boys. If you have any ideas or are interested in helping out, let me know!

Done.. Here you go.. For Battalion aged boys, it’s a 3-4 week (4 week is ideal) robot build & code workshop that I’ve been teaching for like 10yrs now. The robot is built our of foam board and hot glue, and uses around $40-50 in parts from amazon (cheaper if you order in bulk from China)..

It’s all done in Arduino C++ and is too typo-prone to do with younger kids. However, if you have the older boys do the build and coding, then you can re-use the bots to run the “Martian Laser Bot” mission at the end and Stockade kids will eat that up. Pics of the younger “Mission to Mars” activity here:
