Circlebot -- Secret Robot Lab's first complete robot

Julia, Katie and Phil built circlebot.

The "back and turn" algorithm isn't working well yet, but this appears to be a hardware problem.  The 9V battery is insufficient to power the wheels and brain simultaneously, we think.  While running on a USB leash from the computer, it works just fine.  New battery purchased but no success yet.

For 3D Design, I use OnShape and Solidworks, but Tinkercad is a great 3D tool for kids.  The Up Mini works as intended, spitting out reasonable 3D parts

Chloe quickly masters it.

Sarah loves 3D printing!

The Up Mini is pretty robust and quickly spits out some decent
