Creating your own GoPiGo Parts

In lesson 3 of the Engineering Design Process unit, students will learn how to take the concepts taught in lesson 2 and extend them into their own creations such as customized bumpers or a new way to mount a sensor.

1. Investigate: What else could we make?

In lesson 2, you have learned how 3d printing can be useful to create a label (license plate, flag, etc) for your GoPiGo. In this lesson, we are going to get a bit more creative and change the look of your robot completely. Using Tinkercad.com you will have the opportunity to create a new front bumper, rear bumper, or side panels for your GoPiGo to make it look like a sportscar, food truck emergency vehicle, or anything else you would like. Perhaps you will develop an entirely new type of vehicle altogether.
