Lego Robotics - Oct. 26, 2013

Marking out distances for a golf-shot.
We're three weeks into the the fall 2013 Lego Robotics workshop and things are getting animated! Both classes have successfully advanced passed the basic programming phase and are advancing onto some really exciting projects.

In the morning session, the group has started working on their own original programs that they will create and demonstrate. They have also been given the challenge of a maze that they will have figure out how to program their robots through to land on a pressure-switch that they made themselves.

The older kids in the afternoon session decided on their group theme this week (it's a surprise) and have started building designing and building original robots around that theme. They will then have to test, refine and program their robots while figuring out the best way to present them for the big show.

Speaking of the Big Show, it's in two weeks! Information will be available at the next session on Saturday.



Collaborating on their maze program.

One programs while the other tweaks the robot - very efficient.
