Robotics Assessment - Lesson 2 Practical

This lesson you will be programming your robot to try and knock down as many tubes as possible in the arena.

On your Blog you need to keep a tally of how many tubes you knock down at each attempt and make notes on your successes, your failures, problems and how you solved/attempted to solve them.

Robotics Assessment - Lesson 1 Planning

Here is the link to the Robot arena diagram for your robot programming.  It doesn't matter which end your robot starts from - just try and program it to knock all the tubes down in the easiest route and quickest time!

You need to:

1. From the plan of the arena, work out the simplest, shortest and quickest route to knock down as many tubes as possible.

2. In Google Draw, draw out a flow chart for your chosen route.  Remember that 1 wheel rotation is approx 15cm foward movement.

3.  Share this (Anyone with the link), Save and copy/paste the blue weblink to your Blog post.  Don't forget to highlight the link text and click on the blue Link button in your toolbar at the top.

4.  When you've done this Save your post - DO NOT PUBLISH IT YET!!!!

Robotics - Lesson 2 - Selection

Selection lesson notes

For your Post for this lesson you need to:

1.  Explain what Selection means and give an example of how it can be useful (I used logging on to the network as my example)

2.  In Google Draw - draw your flow chart for the lesson's challenge (move forward 1 rotation if not touching anything, turn around if touching something).

3.  When this is finished, share your flowchart (Anyone with the link) and copy/paste the link to your Blog post (don't forget to highlight the link text and click on the blue Link button).

4.  Say whether you managed to get your Wall-E to follow the program and work correctly.  Any problems?  Say what they were and how you overcame them.

5.  Copy and paste the photo of your group's Wall-E program onto your post - the photo will be in your teaching group's shared folder in Google Drive.

6.  When all this is done - Publish your post!

Robotics - Lesson 1 Blog notes to write up

Hi Everyone

Here is the list that I put on the board with the points I need you to write about today's lesson.  To recap, you wrote a flow chart showing the instructions for a robot to move in a square and then you had to program your Lego Mindstorm (Wall-E) to move in a square.

I need you to:

1.  Explain what you had to do
2.  Describe the success you had
3.  Describe any problems you had
4.  Describe the improvements you'd like to make if could have another go
5.  Describe how you'd like to extend that activity if you could have another go.

This write up needs to be completed ready for next lesson!

If you have any problems with this come and see me BEFORE next lesson!
