Sphero Modular Puzzle Maze Blocks - Build your own robot maze to challenge your programming skills! by rtheiss

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This challenge is meant for Sphero Robots, but I bet It can be scaled up or down for other robots. It includes three different maze types that can be re-arranged to change the path Sphero will have to travel through to constantly challenge students with math and programming tasks.
We were able to print these maze blocks at Camp Sachem's Summer Enrichment Program this summer using a Makerbot Replicator that we had on loan as part of a Federal Grant.
The size of these puzzle pieces allow them to easily store in a small flip top Sterilite container with the ability to stack 10 to 12 in a box. This is a necessity since our mentoring program will have to pack up onto a cart in order for us to be able to bring the robots and mazes from school to school. They are also able to be printed with any 6x6 or larger printer very easily and fairly quickly with low resolution. I recommend using masking tape on the backside of the seams to secure them together but I may try adhesive velcro and a 20"x20" coroplast or masonite board in the future so that younger students can arrange the mazes by themselves.
