It doesn't take a long road trip to experience the joys of miniature golf. Just a few cardboard boxes, craft supplies, a couple of servos, and a Circuit Playground Express with CRICKIT programmed with MakeCode can bring a whole obstacle course to life.

- Medium-sized cardboard box (to make the course)
- Scrap pieces of cardboard (to make the obstacles)
