What's the difference between a positional and a continuous rotation servo motor? How do you control them with the Arduino servo library? Which one do you need for your project? Get all your questions answered in this video! For an example of a fun project that uses a continuous rotation servo motor, see this project on the Science Buddies website:…
Do you love flying drones? This video shows you how to design an experiment to see when you improve your flying skills the most. Step-by-step instructions are available on the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Robotics_p039/robotics/drone-race?ytid=BTiCgA8cufA&ytsrc=description
Science Buddies also hosts a library of instructions for over 1,500 other hands-on science projects, lesson plans, and fun activities for K-12 parents,…
RGB LEDs combine red, green, and blue LEDs into one package, allowing you to independently control their brightness levels to create different colors. Learn how to use them in this video so you can add great lighting effects to your Arduino projects!

In 7th grade, after reading a newspaper article about female engineers at NASA, Maria Bualat knew that was what she wanted to do when she grew up. Fast forward to today, and now Maria is a robotics engineer at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA where she develops robotics systems for space exploration. Her main project at the moment is Astrobee-- a free flying robot for the International Space Station. It’ll help astronauts in the space station and measure the quality of the air…
Can a self-driving car hit the brakes faster than a human driver? Find out in this science project as you built your own autonomous Arduino robot and test automatic vs. manual braking.

This video is a quick overview of our sound-following Arduino robot project. The robot uses two microphones to drive toward a sound source. You can find written instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, on our website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Robotics_p048/robotics/sound-tracking-robot?ytid=AUguvwpnJ5M&ytsrc=description We also have a separate tutorial video about using a microphone with an Arduino:…
This tiny robot can jump higher than anything else in the world. This video is sponsored by Brilliant. The first 200 people to sign up via https://brilliant.org/veritasium get 20% off a yearly subscription.
Huge thanks to Dr. Elliot Hawkes and the rest of the group - Charles Xiao, Chris Keeley, Dr. Morgan Pope, and Dr. Günter Niemeyer - for having us at UCSB and showing us their high-flying jumper. This work was partially supported by an Early Career Faculty Grant from NASA’s Space Technology…
