On the left is the Dash robot I used to create my project. On the right is code I used to create my project on the Dash robot app.
Here are the two trial runs for my project. They are both of the robot failing to stop at the pencils.
Here is the final video of the Dash robot moving and stopping at the pencils. I also made the light of the robot change colors throughout the video.
For this project, I used the Dash robot and Dash app. In the video, you can see that with these materials I made the Dash go in straight lines and made pencils mark where the robot stopped. I did this because I am new to the coding in the Dash app, and wanted to start with a simple design.
I've learned a lot during this project. I've never used a Dash before so this was a little new to me. During this project I improved my ability to use a Dash robot and how to use the coding for a dash robot.
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 a few standards. One standard I used is Computational Thinker because I had to trust my ideas of how coding works, and execute my idea of what I wanted to do with the Dash through the coding and testing.
I overcame many challenges in my project. A challenge I overcame on this project was being able to learn the size differences of how to move the robot. The robot moves by studs and not inches, so I did this by making many test runs.
I would change a few things if given the chance to do this again. One change i would make is change the difficulty of the Dash. The reason why I would change it is because at first, I was just learning to use the Dash and I would like to try a higher difficulty or try a different design.
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 Computer Programming CTE program at Hastings High School. I believe this because I had to program a Dash (mini computer). My project connects to a career as a coder because I had to code the Dash.
