# Build A Spider Robot Subject Area: Technology Learning Objectives: Students will learn about the mechanics of a spider robot and how to code a robot. Materials Needed: One computer, one Micro or Micro+ 3D printer, motors, wires, and at least one 1000ft 3D Ink filament spool (ABS-R is recommended) per 2-5 students. Brief Description: Students will print and assemble a spider robot, add motors and wires, and then code the robot. To Prepare: Students will need a computer that has the M3D software on it. We recommend one printer per every 2-5 students. The Micro or Micro+ 3D printer will need to be plugged into both the wall and the computer. Each printer will need to have a spool of 3D Ink feeding into the external port. A spool holder is also recommended. If you need assistance with any of the above please see our guides at support.printm3d.com. Lesson Plan: 1\. Divide students into small groups. \ 2\. Students will go online to thingiverse and find models of a spider robot. Here is an example: 3\. Each group should print out and assemble one spider robot. The group will need to add a motor and wires to make the robot move. \ 4\. Each group will need to code their robot.\ 5\. After the robots are complete, the groups can compete their robots against each other.
