Project 3

This is the code my robot followed to make it go through the obstacle course. It took me multiple tries and ltos of time to get this code perfect.

This is a video of my robot going through the course.There may be a few flaws but he got through it pretty smoothly.

My Reflection: I programmed a BB8 robot to go around an obstacle course. The obstacle course was made up of one plastic cup and two crumpled up paper balls. The robot had to go around the cup and first paper and then go past the third paper. I learned how to program and code the robot.

Standards: Knowledge Constructor: I helped Skylar code her robot because she din't know how to do it. Also, by making this website I am providing information about my project and telling you what I learned so maybe you could use it. Innovative Designer: I used a robot, computer and iPad to do this project. When I had a problem, i found a solution and moved on. Global Collaborator: I used digital tools I had never worked with before and got a different perspective at robots and now I understand kind of how people make robots work in the world.

A challenge I over came was, I went in to this project having never programmed a robot before and i had to code it. I quickly learned how to code but it took many tries and long hard work to get it right. I also, had to figure out where to place the course and how to set it up so that it was somewhat easy to get the robot through it.

Something I would do differently is maybe use a different robot. The BB8 was kind of hard to control and it sometimes just had a mind of its own and it became frustrating. I would also make the obstacle course more difficult because I got through it easily and it honestly wasn't that fun to do.

I could use the skills I gained in future careers and become an Computer Systems Analyst. I could learn to program and code computers and robots. Also, me having little experience in coding already might help.

These are the problems that robots could solve.
