At first glance the robotics sessions looked really fun... and they were. Me and my trusty partner Theo had a great time finding out some of the things that the NXT can do. After the basics had been covered in the first session we experimented further in the second session I saw the trays full of LEGO and I couldn't resist putting a little seat on the front of our robot for a LEGO minifigure. After that (and a little more building) we were almost ready for the little red riding hood challenge. So Theo and I measured the first bit of the challenge and set off back to our computer (unfortuneately lenovo) to programme our robot. Then we made it to the first turn and by then time was up.
I think that Mrs. Hawthorne has done a great job on making robotics somthing that we can do at school and we are fortunate that we can do this as it is expensive. I look forward to the NXT lesson and can't wait to do the sumo challenge. Oh, and speaking of LEGO reminds me that The LEGO Movie will be screening here in NZ in 6 days.
