Fifth grade has officially started robotics engineering using their Lego Mindstorms robo kits as tools to build and program robots. Today we built a chair for Mr. Walrus (a beanie baby) that could withstand an ankle drop test, keep Miss Kitty an inch off the floor, and use at least 2 ways to connect lego parts. After putting together the basics, we brainstormed ways to add cupholders, foot rests and even a back massager. Next week we will present and reflect on our final products using the presentation program called Powtoon.
