For this classroom Final Project, you will be creating a group project using the EV3 LegoMindstorm and App Inventor. Please be aware that even though this is a group project, I want as many of you hands on learning as possible. You have to actively be involved in your learning. Seek out opportunities to participate/lead, ask to participate... don't wait for someone to involve you, and do not take over the project from everyone else. Be a team player. There is a steep learning curve here with very little time (which is why you are in groups). Use each other to learn. Make sure each of you are doing the trial codes on your own computers so if someone is absent, you will have the code to still run. Good luck!
You must program the EV3Bot to complete a mission. Your track must include:
a starting and stopping point
at least one of each turn (a right angle, an acute angle, and an obtuse angle)
a cross over itself
a change in speed
a minimum of 10ft total length
You will want to use duct tape (one inch strips (half of the roll the long way)) on the floor to create an obstacle track. Most of your time will be spent designing the code for the EV3 to run the track.
You must then create a program for the robot that performs functions for each leg of the track. You should be using the Speech Recognizer component and the code you designed for the Practice (along with other blocks in the EV3 Motors component) to create steps for each leg of the track. For instance, the first step may be 'Move forward' so you program the Speech Recognizer to move 200cm (this is how long the first leg is hypothetically) on the command. Next leg might be 'Turn right,' etc. Each leg should be programmed specifically for the length of the step in the track.
When you are finished, use the Chromebook to video the successful mission. You will also want to take a shot of the code/program you created.
When you are finished videoing, upload the video to one person's drive from the 'FILES' (go to your Drive, click UPLOAD, choose FILES and search for your video).
Go to Google Classroom, click on Robotics Project Topic and find the Final assignment. Link your video through your Drive and submit.
