Science Club Members graduate Basic Robotics!


This week science club members completed their third lesson in Robotics.  They now have a basic understanding of:
  • ELEMENTS OF ROBOTS
  • CONTROLLING ROBOTS THRU SENSORS AND LOGIC
  • DESIGNING, LOADING, AND TESTING PROGRAMS ON THE LEGO NXT 2.0 ROBOT

This week we examined the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner behavior.  Students designed and tested programs (using touch sensors and the ultra-sonic sensors) on the Lego Mindstorms robot to react to walls and obstacles – just like the Roomba vacuum.
