The students received the second place award atthe 2007 CEC and now have started a business venture and are currently testing the prototype forwide-scale manufacturing. In May and November 2007 respectively, Popular Science9 andTIME Magazine10 selected the glove as one of the best inventions of the year. In both cases, itwas the only Canadian invention.

We assign one robot to each group of 2 – 3 students, and at ourinstitution, the students are allowed to take the robots home for the duration of the assignment.If this is not a viable option for other institutions, there may be other options, such as staggeringthe labs so that different sections of the course need the robots at different times, or redefiningthe project so that
