program robot

What I decided to do was program a robot ball to go on a maze but not do all of the maze and I made it come back to me. What I learned was that a little ball robot is harder to code than any of the stuff I have done this whole semester and it is also very time consuming to do because I had to figure out how to make it to where it would stop just in time to turn and continue going in that direction until I needed it to stop.My project is tied to creative communicator because I created something I wanted to make and that I did not take from anyone else. It is also tied to empowered learner. How it is tied to this one is I used technology to understand and to learn and also to understand how the technology works and functions.Also for empowered learner I customized how the spheroid would roll and turn and stuff. some of the challenges I overcame was having to program the robot and having to have it come back to me instead of going all over the place. I made it go through part of a maze so I had to make it go many different ways.If I could do something differently I would have tried to make it go through the whole maze instead of just a little piece of it.I would also try to make it more accurate instead of being off just by a little bit so it would be perfectly lined up.The skill I gained is how to program and make things go certain ways and a future job I could do with this is programming things like robots to help people in the future or to program self driving cars in the future.
