﻿HI everybody, isn't Robotics fun? We are having such a great time doing Robotics. In group 5 we have Amelia, Rhiannon and Rosalie. Have fun and we hope you like reading our page!!!!

TERM 1

Wk 7, 16th March, BUILDING! Building was difficult, though fun but drove me crazy when we had to take it all apart from one little mistake! We had so much fun, our Robot was special to us as we created it, it was like a child. We called our Robot HI 5! or 5 alive! When we were building we thought we were way behind with everyone but we were up to date. OH, what a relief. The first week we got the first few pages done. We didn't end up finishing it in time so we had to go finish building it in passive play during lunch. After lunch was over, something was wrong with our robot and we didn't get the arm built, we were afraid we were never going to be able to finish it. Luckely, the other group we were building with, Keelie, Sarah B and Olivia, finished off the robot without us. So now its finished and it ended up looking great. Amelia

﻿Wk 8 PEDESTRIAN CROSSING Doing the pedestrian crossing was awesome. What the pedestrian crossing really was, was you had to make your robot move from 1 line to the other and it had to stop right at the line. There were little lego people standing up on the line and you couldn't knock them over when your robot reached the other side. It took us a while to know how to do everything but after, we were on track. We used driving forward and it took us a couple of tries to get it right, our first try was to short as we made it move for only 3 seconds and only went half way, so we changed it to 6 seconds. On our second try it went over the line and knocked down the pedestrians. We changed it to 5 seconds but it was just a little over so on our last try we changed it to 4.5 seconds and it was PERFECT! We were all so pleased with our results. Rosalie

﻿﻿Wk 9 <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">360 TURN <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">The 360 turn was hard, though interesting. Our mission was to make our robot make a fast full turn and stop in the same spot you started in. We put in 360 but it accidently started turning 360 times. We were all so confused when we tested it, it just kept turning and turning and turning. Then we decided to change it to 4 and it started turning 4 times. Then we realised what was going on we thought it was degrees but it was actually the number of turns. So we put in 1 and it only turned once but it didn't stop in the excact spot, it was just a little short. We needed it to turn just a little more so we put it as 1.5 though it was to much. We then put it as 1.4, it was to much again. 1.3, to much. 1.1 was to short. We were stuck, though the only thing we thought we could do was change it from the number of turns to seconds. So we started off with 2 seconds and worked our way down. 1.9 was to much and 1.8 wasn't enough we were completely out of ideas and we were so sick of it having to change it like 100 times. We asked the teacher what to do about it and she suggested to try 1.85, so we did and it was to perfection. It was so good that it scored us a 5 out of 5. I wondered what we would do if we didn't have teachers. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Amelia

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">﻿Wk10 <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">SNAKE <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">The snake, our final project ot term 1. Our instuctions for this project was to make a perfect snake going side to side in the forward direction and reversing back doing the same thing and ending in the same position as when you started. This move was the hardest out of all of us. At first when we found out how to do it it started turning to much to the side. So we made all of the turns to go for longer. That still didnt make it better so we thought we could could make the direction of the turns more powerful. That made a great snake going forwards but we still had to find out how to make it go in reverse. We thought that if we did the excact same thing but in reverse it would work, though when we tested it, it was going in the wrong direction. We tried many other things but nothing was working. Then I realised that the first turn going in reverse was turning the wrong way so when we fixed it all up it worked but it needed to be improved as it was going to much to the side. We kept fidely around with it and we were afraid that we were going to make it worse so the teacher marked us on it. We scored a 4 out of 5, but we know how to fix it so were going to fix it so hopefully we will be able to score our full marks. WISH US LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Rhiannon
