Years 5 and 6 Use Blue Tooth and Have A Car Rally, Do The Green City Challenge and Get A Bug Out Of A Box.

Dear Bloggers,

Last week was VERY busy for all stage 3 Lego Robotics Students.

The students who attended the Gifted and Talented Science Incursion continued their work using blue tooth and we had an interclass car rally. This involved programming a Master Robot to use blue tooth to control the Slave. Below is a picture of the students with their Master Bots getting them ready for the rally.

The slaves were the racing bots.

The audience were captivated…I love their smiles and enthusiasm.

Whilst this was happening two other students groups were carrying out the Green City Challenge and here is the video of them solving the problem of the old chimney stack on the factory and replacing it with a new one.

 

Still more was happening as the rest of the class was involved in the ‘Get The Bug Out of the Box Challenge’.

Using a light sensor only the children were required to get their Bug-Bots out of the box as quickly as possible.  There were three different boxes and the Bugs started in different places in each and the winning team wrote separate programs for each box.

5/6H fix the Dam

Dear Bloggers,

5/6H did a wonderful job of fixing the Green City Dam.  Have a look for yourself.

The videos below show the most successful fixing of the dam.  This robot closed the dam, released and caught the energy brick and almost returned to base.  The next video shows the class effort.
