Group+1M

In our group we have Lachlan Jones, Declan Spencer and Christian Jones.

Before March16:

When we were assembling our robot David Welch from 6B was an expert with the buliding! It took us two sessions and we finished it at the begining of the third session. We were one of the fastest groups. We named our robot Erik.

When first started programming, we learnt how to use the sound sensor. It moves when we make a sound e.g clapping, speaking, and burping.

 * Christian Jones (handler): Today at robotics I was the robot handler and I learned how to turn it off and to search for files.
 * Lachlan Jones (programmer): This session was really fun, I enjoyed watching the robot goooooooooooooooooo!! We did the pedestrian challange, and our robot made it perfectly!
 * Declan.Spencer (recorder):today at robotics our challeng was to mak Eirk (our robot) complet the pedestryan challeng and Erik did it propply the first time, our gurp came first
 * Lachlan Jones (handler): Today, we did the pedestrian challange, then after it reached the end, we made it dance! Our robot did lots of spins and swung it's arm around a lot.
 * Christian Jones (recorder): Today we got another challange. It was harder this week because we had to make Erik go from one line to another then make it dance. We set the seconds on 8.2 but the hook just went over the line it still was really fun waching it dance.
 * Declan Spencer (programmer):my tarsk today as programer is to program Erik to move from one line to another and back with out going out of abox and the dance in the midie.this tarsk was challaging and funat the same time.
 * Christian Jones (programmer): Today we got handed out a sheet with movements and the score was out of five. We did the 360 spin. When I set the degrease to 360 it only did a 180 spin so I doubled the number to 720 it kind of worked. We went from 720 to 723 to 725 725.5 to 726 to 726.5 to 727 the finally 728 and our group got five out of five.
 * Lachlan Jones (recorder): Today we got a sheet with all these activities on it. We first did the 360 turn. We had a bit of trouble but theen got it perfectly.
 * Declan Spencer (handlerr):for this session we were handed a sheet with five activaties .our first activaty was the 360 turn.we had our difaclties at first but then we figued it out and got five out of five.(Idont under stand thow that when we typed 360 degriesErik only turned about 135 degrirs)

 * Lachlan Jones (programmer): As Chrisitian said, we had to use three senses. We use the touch sensor, the sight sensor, and the sound sensor.
 * declan spencer(handerler): this week was the sensor challeng we hat to make Erik use there sensors and move his arm we did not finish this week.
 * Christian Jones (programmer): This week we fixed up Erik's (our robot) senses and our mark was a 5! After that we were up to make Erik make a shape, we choose a circle. Sadly we didn't get it marked.
