Catapult Video

This is a video of our robot catapulting a Lego tire. The robot we used is a Dash.

My Movie 2.mov

Party Bomb Video

This is a video of our robot as a "party bomb". We used the app Sphero Edu to program it and we used the Sphero Bolt robot.

My Movie 3.mov

Shapes Video

This is a video of the Sphero Mini Robot drawing shapes. We chose to draw a circle, square, and triangle. We used the Sphero Edu robot app to program it.

Word Writing Video

This is a video of our robot writing the word "dud" with a dry erase marker. The robot we used is an iRobot Root and we used the iRobot coding app to program it.

Extra Credit Challenge 1

In this challenge, me and Dakota raced the Bolt and the Mini.

Extra Credit Challenge 2

In this challenge, we all used the Bolt as a game controller to play a game called Round Trip. You can play this game with a Sphero robot and the Sphero Play app.

Party Bomb Code

This is the code that we used to program the party bomb. We used the Sphero Edu app and the Sphero Bolt robot.

Code for Catapult

This is the code that we used for the catapult. We used the Dash robot and the Blockly app.

Code for Word Writing

This is the code that we used to program the robot to write "dud". We used the iRobot coding app and an iRobot Root robot.

Triangle Code

This is the code that we used to make the Sphero Mini do a triangle.

Square Code

This is the code that we used to make the Sphero Mini do a square.

Circle Code

This is the code that we used to make the Sphero Mini do a circle.

Reflection

Using many different robots, I accomplished challenges. I did this because I got extra credit if I did all of the challenges. I got more extra credit if we made our own challenge.

During this process, I learned how to program robots. I used block coding to program the robots. There were many apps that I used, such as Sphero Edu, Blockly, and iRobot Coding.

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 I designed the code for the robots through trial and error. My project also ties to Global Collaborator because my website is published for the world to see.

A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the Root robot to write what I wanted. I was able to do it through trial and error. Eventually, I got it to move/curve the way I wanted.

Given a chance to do this again, I would take more time to program the Mini to do the shapes. The reason why I would change it is because the shapes took lots of time to perfect. We only took time to do 3 shapes, but finished all of the other challenges.

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. My project connects to careers in programming.
