Robo-Mania !

Today when we were cycling someone started clowning around and fell off their bike. We still made it to B.S but later than we expected. It was a good session, firstly we were divided in to two groups (Green and Yellow) we were Yellow Group which meant we were first up for programming the robots, we managed to get our robot to go in a straight line. Soon after that Priscila added a few adjustments to the programming (several 360's). We taught the year 4's how to use the programming software so that they could understand what was going on. Morning tea was before the next rotation, we had so much fun on the playground and we didn't want it to end. Later that day we were shifted onto creating the forest floor, which our group did well in. We created a time lapse video (see below) we added some other fairy tail characters into the forest design (including, The 3 little pigs, Rapunzel's tower, Candy mountain, a haunted valley etc.) We found out that our buddies were every creative and they enjoyed designing the forest floor more than anything that day. Now we are up to creating our proper forest floor and continuing to try to program our robots to follow a basic black line. We are also considering entering Robo-cup Dance and are planning  to program it to do some basic steps from the hoedown throw-down, if all else goes well. We worked well with our buddies today and we're sure that next week will be better. We are really looking forward to next week when we can continue to make progress with our robots.
