The robot is designed to act like a football player and make various football moves by using different sensors. The students were inspired by this year’s Super Bowl to make sure Marshawn Lynch busts through the defensive line for a touchdown.

Teacher Tom White supervised the project. Students also had to determine whether the canoe would float by a mathematical formula and later by taking it to the Lynnwood Recreation Center to test it in the pool. The canoe did, in fact, float. Detailed plans of how the canoe was built can be found online at: https://teacher.edmonds.wednet.edu/lynnwood/twhite/documents.
