5th Grade Robots on the Run!

Fifth grade has been super busy learning about basic robotics programming.  Students are learning to send their robot forward and back, the best way to make a sharp 90 degree turn, do donuts (making fast circles), talk to us, and many other moves!  Now we've begun turning on our sensors and figuring out how to tell our robot what to do when a sensor is triggered. For example, when the touch sensor hits a wall should our robot back up, turn away, or say "Ouch"!  I'm very proud of our 5th graders; there is a lot of troubleshooting that must be done as well.  When their robots don't do what they are supposed to, our kids figure out why.  Great problem solving skills to be gained-and fun!!  See some more pictures following:
