BeeBot Driver Licence

Everyone loves to get their "Driver's Licence" be it for a car, truck, Bus, Boat or Aeroplane! Students also love to get their licence to drive their BeeBots!

The skills that students need to be able to effectively solve any BeeBot challenge are:

    • Turn BeeBot on and off.

    • Clear an existing stored program

    • Drive FORWARD

    • Drive BACKWARDS

    • Turn RIGHT

    • Turn LEFT

    • PAUSE

    • Stop a runaway BeeBot ( Simply press GO again)

The students I work with have to "code" their robot to follow a track that includes each of the above elements. Their teacher then issues them with their personalised "BeeBot Driver Licence". A sample track is shown opposite.

Driving Test Tyvec Prints

I recently discovered that Officeworks print onto a material called Tyvec which is tear and water resistant. The cost to print 4 mats, that is a print 600mm by 1800mm as a Plan in black and white was $16. This meant that each mat cost $4 each. Not really worth making my own on cardboard but so far it appears far sturdier than cardboard and easier to store than laminated mats. Will keep you posted.

If you wish to print some for your school, I have linked the .pdf file I used at Officeworks.
