May I put in a request for a set of simple but interesting pneumatic bots that
10-14 year olds could build and in so doing learn about some of the basics of
pneumatics, pneumatic circuits, etc.? Four to six small bots, each getting at
some aspect of pneumatics would be a very positive contribution to those of us
who are teaching the next generation of AFOLs.
Yes, I could probably design these myself, but I’m a teacher not a builder and
there’s nothing good about creating a Rube Goldberg contraption with kids,
watching it break down,and losing the entire conceptual thread of the class.
Here’s a starter. Would someone out there please take Hempel’s motorized pump
design and change it around so that it will accommodate the larger pumps, which
in turn could be used in combination with an RCX to power some pneumatic
apparatus?
I hope you and/or others will accept this challenge and produce some teachable
bots that kids can build and learn from.
