5 Beginner Robotics Projects for Students

Ready to build? Here are five approachable projects:

1. Line-following robot — IR sensors + two motors
2. Obstacle-avoiding car — an ultrasonic sensor keeps it from bumping walls
3. Bluetooth-controlled rover — drive it from your phone
4. Light-seeking robot — LDRs steer it toward light
5. Robotic arm — servos for pick-and-place

Each one teaches a core concept you will reuse again and again.
