For this classroom Final Project, you will be creating a group project. You will have the use of a Sphero Robot to create an obstacle track and have the Sphero run it. 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.
Your obstacle track must include (to see a student example click here):
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 elevation (up a ramp, down a ramp, jump, etc.)
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 Sphero to run the track. (I do also have ramps available if you want to use them.)
As a group, code a program through the SPHERO EDU app to make the Sphero run the track you designed. You will want to create the obstacle track first and then code it to successfully run it.
BE SURE YOU LEARN HOW TO AIM THE SPHERO BEFORE STARTING.
Make sure you are using the SPHERO EDU app to code the Sphero and not using the Sphero app just to drive it.
When you are finished, use the Chromebook to video the successful completion on the track (it should not leave the tape).
Go to Google Classroom, click on Robotics Project Topic and find the Final assignment. Link the video by selecting Add from Files (it should be in your downloads), be sure to add all groups members in the comment section and submit. I will grade each member based on that one submission.
