sphero mini cones bowling pin video

Here is a video of my project the first time I ran it and it was all correct; the lighting wasn't the best since the lights were off that day.

Lightly tapped but successful

Here's a better run of my Sphero successfully going, but just lightly tapping the pin.

Successful video not as good quality

Here's yet another successful run.

Super close unsuccessful

I had lots of unsuccessful runs, too. Here's one that was super close, but not quite right.

Very unsuccessful

Here's a run that was very unsuccessful, seeing that I started the Sphero in front of the wrong cone.

Here's what my setup looked like, you can't see it too well since the cones and bowling pin are so small, but there's 5 cones and 1 bowling pin, I forgot to put the Sphero Mini in this picture, but it was between the first 2 cones, but really close to the second one.

Here is my coding for my Sphero.

Using a Sphero Mini, I programmed it to weave through cones and knock over a mini bowling pin. I decided to do this because our assignment was coding, and I had never coded a Sphero before, and I wanted to try it. I used 5 mini traffic cones, 1 mini bowling pin, and the Sphero Mini.

During this process, I learned a lot about Sphero coding. First, I obviously learned how to code the Sphero, since it was new to me. I also learned how precise you have to be to get the coding just right, and to get the Sphero to do what you’re

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 and innovative designer because I learned how to use a Sphero on my own, and I came up with the idea by myself.

A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out what angles, speed, how long, etc. to set everything at, since I’d never used a Sphero before. I was able to do it by kind of just estimating them all, and adjusting them from there. It was also not too hard since the cones were pretty equally spread out, I could just put the same angles and speed for multiple of them.

Given a chance to do this again, I would probably make the direction changes more smooth. The reason why I would change it is because I think it would look better, since the turns are kind of sharp right now. I don’t necessarily think it looks that bad how it is right now, but if I smoothed them out a little bit, I think it’d look cleaner, but I wasn’t sure how to fix that yet since I’m new to Spheros.
