low cost and reliable so schools can afford to buy and repair.However, it soon became clear that the robot also should be precise, and accurate, for it to beuseful as an educational platform to teach mathematics.The motivation for undertaking this paper’s research project thus stemmed from the desire toenhance high school students’ retention and interest in Mathematics. Such qualities wouldsignificantly improve their performance in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics) career fields and education in general. Our exploration showed that much researchhas already been performed by other researchers to facilitate high schools in fostering STEMinterest with robots 6 -10. However, such robots have tended to be expensive (~$300) by
