Share your steps
A protocol is a numbered recipe. The robot helps you do science — you still decide what fair testing means.
Name the behaviour
e.g. “Read temperature every 30 minutes overnight” — not “cool robot v3”.
State your science question
What evidence does this produce?
Number every step
Setup → calibrate → run → record → shutdown.
Say how many trials
Ten repeats is a common school standard.
Calibration notes
Home position, sensor zero, timing drift.
Safety notes
Water, batteries, pinch points, adult required?
Tips & safety
- Examples: Overnight pH log · arm returns to same spot · line follow with pauses.
- Do not share: Passwords, Wi-Fi details, or tricks that disable safety stops.
- Hardware honesty: Say LEGO, Arduino, or Pi — write so others can adapt.

Numbered steps another team could follow. Purpose states the science question first.
