Using Sphero's, I created a robot tag game because we wanted to make it more fun and have a more interactive experience..
During this process, I learned how we can use sphero play and Edu.
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 Innovative Designer because we had to design an arena out of cardboard that can handle clashing robots.
A challenge I overcame on this project was creating the arena. I was able to do it by using a stronger adhesive to keep it together.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the arena. The reason why I would change it is because it was a bit to small for 4 robots..
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 Design and Computer Programming CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in robot calibration and toy creation.
I learned how to connect the robots and use SpheroEdu and control the different colors, aiming and movement.
I started by going through the different robots, learning how to use them and and seeing how fast they stop. I picked the bolt too traverse a tile because it seemed to stop the fastest.
This is my code for the tile traverse and the video of the bot doing it. It has some flaws as its not perfect but it made it around so I call it good. It also has a message on collision.
Our final project was to code a robot to "feel pain". Here's our code and the robot hitting walls of a tub saying "ouch' and displaying it on the light pad. (code under, video to the right)
