Lego Robotics

Today Amalia, Gemma and I programmed Robots using Robolab. Basically we were trying to figure out how fast each speed was and how long it should go for. We got our rover to go through the two towers, but then our batteries were really low and we had to get a new rover. That really screwed us up. The better rover went faster and longer and we had to adjust it a lot!

This relates to the Robotics key point bhecus efirst we had to make the rover go straight and then turn left and then go straight again. We had to break it up into those three tasks and then do then each one at a time.

This is going to be really useful for M2M because we have to program robot (I assume) and now we know what speeds for certain amounts of time do what. For example, we had our Rover go at speed 4 for 6 seconds and then turn left at speed 2 (?) for 5 seconds. We will be able to program robots quicker and we will be able to navigate the program better from now.
