Third Day

We a had cool day today. Once we arrived at Bethlehem School, as normal, we were split up into our groups, green and yellow. The challenge for today was to programme the robot to follow a black line using light sensors. One group did the maps and one group did the robots. Firstly we did the maps for that session, we created 3d objects for our map eg: trees and houses. We made 3 trees and 1 log, and we've also made a house to sit along the track. We were also not allowed to use the laptop, but let the Year 4's do it, with us guiding them. We had done everything we were supposed to do but for some reason it wasn't following the black line, but when the light sensors went onto white the motors kicked and started running. It took us quite a while to figure out why that was happening, but then we figured it out with help of another team that our robot was programmed to follow light white not black lines. So we changed the light settings, then we were away, with the robot navigating through the two courses ( a loop and an S shape.) By the time we got it working, we had just enough time to get it doing the S shape on video.
On that day, the weather was not that flash, so the unthinkable happens, on the ride home it starts pouring down with rain. By the time everyone got back to school we were all drenched. :(
So now we can't wait to go back and see what each other have built this time and master our teacher challenge.
