SMART GOAL SPECIFIC SENTENCE: I will learn about Robotics using Sphero
HOW TO SAVE: Make sure you renamed your program > It saves automatically > place Sphero in the charger and charge the tablet
What is Sphero?
Sphero is an awesome spherical robot that you can program!
Start with these programming challenges first:
Roll around a chair and land in the same spot (tape square on the floor, watch the first video)
Roll around an island and land in the same spot
Creating an animation on the Matrix (watch the second video below)
Where is Robotics used in the Real World?
Automation
Robots can do some jobs more efficiently with less energy/cost
Exploration
Robots can handle conditions that humans cannot, like in space or deep underwater
Rescue
Robots can save people in dangerous areas or defuse bombs
