5. Procedures
1) Read the directions.
- Your group needs to complete planning and building your robot within 25 minutes. You can build your robot by using the Cubelets given to your group.
2) Design a robot.
- What problem will your robot solve?
- Which of these sensors will your robot need?
- Which of these actors will your robot need? How many?
- What will your robot look like? Draw your robot.
6. Review- Your group needs to complete planning and building your robot within 25 minutes. You can build your robot by using the Cubelets given to your group.
2) Design a robot.
- What problem will your robot solve?
- Which of these sensors will your robot need?
- Which of these actors will your robot need? How many?
- What will your robot look like? Draw your robot.
3) Build a robot to solve the problem and record the results.
- Build and experiment with your Cubelets robot to
see if it works.
- Which sensor did you actually use?
- Which actors did you actually use?
- How
well did your robot work? Check. (Very well, Well, Not well)
- Which part of your robot would you like to
change to make it work better?
- How does your robot work?
- What kinds of tasks that your robot can do?
