Robot Turtles Had No Actual Robot, So This Version Adds One
Making a Turtle Bot 2: Making a Dash Robot into a Turtle
Jonathan turned the programming board game Robot Turtles into a version played with a real robot. A secondhand Dash robot moves across an alphabet foam-mat grid that serves as the physical game board.
NFC tags are attached to cards from the original game. Scanning them on a custom reader sends commands such as forward, left and right to the robot, and players can queue a sequence before running it.
The game was already called Robot Turtles, but it contained no actual robot. This build takes the name literally and scales the board up around a real moving machine.
