In a team
What materials will you need for your project?
Computer, iRobot, and Legos.
What is your plan to create in this project?
My plan is to create a car out of Legos, and have it do something

It will be of my own design.
Project Log
Day One: we started building the foundation for the car.
Day Two: we finished the car and started coding it to do something, like go around a table.
Day Three: We worked more on the coding.
Day Four: We made some final touches to the project, then submitted it.
Using iRobot, we created code for the robot, and made a car on top of it. We did this because it was very fun, and we had so much fun building it. It turned out pretty well.
During this process, we learned how much speed you need to make the robot do things around a desk. It took a couple tests, but I managed to find it out. It didn't really take that long.
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 everything I did, I thought of it myself. I didn't take it from someone else.
A challenge I overcame on this project was speed and where the robot lands. I was able to do it by running lots of tests. I ran about five tests. Also, getting all of the Lego stuff how we wanted it was a challenge too.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change what I built on the robot. The reason why I would change it is because I could have done so much more. I could have used different Legos and different coding.
