1. Milo - The Space Rover

Double click on this 12.20 minutes but stop once you have finished building your robot based on the instructions (about 9.30 minutes)

You should be watching the rest of the video as a class to go through the basics of programming.

Challenge 1: To move your Milo from point A to B (given by teacher) and whoever moves closest and fastest is the winner!

2. Motion Sensor for Milo

Double click on this 8.21 minutes but stop once you have finished building your robot based on the instructions (about 4.00 minutes)

1. You should be watching the rest of the video as a class and answer these questions in your portfolio:When we want Milo to use his motion sensor, we should decrease the speed of his motor block. True or False

2. What colour is the motion sensor block?

3. What happens when you use the hour glass and motion sensor blocks together?

Challenge 2:

Do you think you can get Milo to move around the specimen after it detects the specimen? The moving around the specimen should be after the stop and making of a noise as shown in the video. The purpose of moving around the specimen is so that the base camp can mark the location of the specimen for retrieval in their next venture.

3. Full understanding of Milo - your space robot

Warning: 30 minutes video.

First 6 minutes - basics of WeDo set if you are still unsure on how to connect etc

Can you explain these two words: "pulley" and "axle" after watching the video?

13 to 17 minutes - Explain how the distance sensor works.

17 to 22 minutes - Coding explanation

26 to 30 minutes - More advanced use of the distance sensor - moving towards and away from the sensor

What cause your robot to move forward or backwards?

Do you think the sensor is an input or output device? Explain your answer.

Challenge 3: The Cliffhanger

Get Milo to move backwards when it reaches the edge of the table so that it does not drop to the floor. Be careful to catch your Milo in the event your code needs some "debugging".
