Before changing your sensor, map readings at three different positions to find where variation is highest.
NuiBot Sensor Deployment Challenge
Where you put NuiBot's sensors changes the story it tells. Where will you place it?

Evidence you will build
- Deployment plan with sampling rationale
- Time-series dataset
- Manual vs automated comparison
- Pattern-identification report
Why this matters
Longitudinal sensor deployments generate community-valuable datasets when sampling plans are documented and cross-checked.
What you will investigate and collect
You will design and run a real deployment of NuiBot's sensors to answer a question that needs longitudinal evidence. Whether NuiBot's longitudinal readings reveal a pattern you couldn't see with manual sampling alone. Continuous or scheduled NuiBot readings across multiple days, plus manual reference checks.

What you might make or share
- Sensor arm3D print
New arm attachment for the exact position your evidence suggests
Your sensor placement data shows where readings are most informative.
- Probe holder3D print
Custom holder for the probe type your investigation uses
A custom holder ensures your probe stays at the calibrated position.
- Docking stationLaser cut
Storage and charging station for reliable robot deployment
If battery life or positioning affected your readings, a docking station helps.
