What is your plan to create in this project?
To show how I played with and understood the robots
What unique qualities will your project have?
I'll be able to choose which challenges I want to do
Daily Log:
Day 1. I started playing around with the mini robot.
Day 2. I started working with different kinds of robots
Day 3. Took a video of me playing around with my robot, and helped Cordelia do the same.
Day 4. Edited and uploaded a video of BB8
Day 5. Started coding
Day 6. Finished the Dash challenge.
Day 7. I did the Sphero mini-challenge
Day 8. I finished writing my answers to the questions, and turned in my project to Mr. Renner
Using coding apps, I created codes to make robots draw shapes, and throw a tire because I wanted to learn more about coding and programming.
During this process, I learned about the right ways to code to make the robots do what I want them to.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered Learner because I set a goal to learn how to code a robot to throw a tire, and create shapes. I learned how to use different programs to code. I also learned how to create that code to make the robot move how I wanted it to.
A challenge I overcame on this project was not knowing what to do or how to do it. I was able to do it by experimenting with different codes, apps, and actions.
Given a chance to do this again, I would have spent less time procrastinating, and more time figuring out what I wanted to do. The reason why I would change it is because, in the end, I didn't have enough time to make very many shapes with the Sphero mini.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the engineering CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in engineering.
My Movie 13.movHere is a video of the Dash challenge. I used coding to make the Dash look left to launch the tire. The tire didn't go very far, so given the chance to do this again, I would've given myself more time to build a better contraption.
My Movie 14.movThis is the video of the Sphero Mini coded to draw shapes. (Triangle & Rectangle) With the rectangle, it didn't go to the exact start, so instead of setting the time running to 1.5, I should have set it to 1.6 or 1.7. For the triangle, I think it turned out pretty well, and I wouldn't have changed what I've done with it.
