Years 5 and 6 Follow the Black line

Dear Bloggers,

The students used the data logging software to collect values about the amount of light reflected from different colours.  They had to use this knowledge to program their robot to follow a black line.  The basic  building base the students had on their bots was 4 rigid wheels and the pupils had to add a swivel wheel to their design to successfully follow the line.  Some of the swivel wheels they designed are shown below….often very simple can be very effective.
