1. Cover - Your project report must begin with a cover page that includes:
a. The project title
b. Teams names
c. School name and logo
d. Course name (Computer Science or Robotics)
e. Date of submission
f. Names and last names of all team members
2. Presentation Page - This is a formal page that introduces your project. It should include:
a. The purpose of the project (What were you trying to create or solve?)
b. A brief summary of the robot or system you built.
c. Your team roles (who did what).
3. Teams - Explain who is on your team and what each person contributed:

coding, building, testing, etc.)
b. Name: Each team member's first name
c. Last name: Each team member's last name
4. Robot Presentation - Introduce your robot or system:
a. Robot name: Choose a creative name for your robot.
b. Final design: Insert an image, sketch, or screenshot of your final robot or
prototype.
c. How it works: Explain the general functionality—What does it do? How does it
respond to input or complete its task?
5. Design - Explain how your idea evolved and was built:
a. Evolution: Show how your robot design changed from the first version to the final
version. Include sketches or photos of different stages.
b. General design: Describe the overall structure and appearance. What inspired the
design?

c. Specific parts: Explain each part of your robot (e.g., wheels, sensors, arms,
motors, casing) and what it does.
Hardware - List and explain all the hardware components used in your robot:
a. Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, micro:bit)
b. Motors and servos
c. Sensors (e.g., distance, light, temperature)
d. Power sources (batteries)
e. Any other mechanical/electronic parts
f. Include:
g. Why you chose each component
h. How it helps the robot complete its tasks
Circuit - Include the circuit diagram of your robot:
a. Show how the components are connected
b. Label each part clearly
c. You may use a software tool (like Tinkercad or Fritzing), or draw by hand and
scan it
d. Explain how electricity flows through your robot
Conclusion - Write a reflection on your project:
a. What did your team learn?
b. What was the most challenging part?
c. What would you improve if you had more time?
d. How could this project be applied in real life?
References - List the sources you used to help you build the project:
