Welcome to Robotics!
You will be assigned a robot kit that you will SHARE with your assigned partner. You will not always have the same partner. I will assign different partners several times during the trimester. With your partner, you will:
Learn why robotics is important.
Learn the basic parts of your Lego robot kit.
Build your robot.
Program your robot to do simple tasks.
Program your robot and design parts for your robot so that it performs complex tasks.
Use math skills to improve robot performance.
Design elements of your robot to make it efficient and successful
Disassemble your robot and re-organize your kit.

parameter: A "parameter" is something you measure or set that helps decide how something works. It's like a special rule or number that tells you what conditions are needed. For example, if you’re playing a video game, the level of difficulty (easy, medium, or hard) is a parameter that changes how the game plays. If you are baking a cake, the temperature of the oven would be a parameter. If you are driving, the speed limit is a parameter.

Planning Your Own Program - Challenge Board Missions
Planning Your Own Program - Challenge Board Missions
1. Plan HOW your robot will interact with the model on the challenge board. Create an attachment to allow the robot to successfully interact.
2. Plan the pathway the robot will take to reach the model.
a. Determine the exact starting point of your robot in the home base. Specify a point on the grid using a number and a letter. Specify what exact part of the robot will be aligned with this point. Specify which direction the robot will be facing.
b. From that starting point, determine what lengths the robot will travel and what turns it will make. You can use the port view function to find what distances you need to program into your move blocks.
3. Create your program on the computer using your plans and measurements.
Use "Port View" to measure distances.
Use "Port View" to measure distances.
Using the Port View allows you to move your robot by hand and see how far it travels. You can then type this information into your move blocks to have the robot copy the move you made it do by hand.

EV3 Kit Re-Assembly Checklist.docx
EV3 Kit Re-Assembly Checklist.docxThe first thing you and your partner will learn together will be the parts of your kit. You will not be expected to memorize every part, but you will need to know the names of the most commonly used parts. This will be important when you are designing and building. If you or someone else is in need of a piece and they don't know what to call it, they can't ask for it.
EV3 Parts Identification (ALL PARTS). With your partner, go through the parts list and compare the parts to what you see in your kit.
Parts that are on the QUIZ You and your partner will QUIZ each other. Have one partner hold up a part and have the other partner try to remember the name. Take turns.
