Robots


When we arrived at Bethlehem school, we were the group who started with the robots. We were trying to get the robot to follow the black line again, which wasn't hard, but we were using the kids PC laptops, which was quite different to using Macs. At the first couple of attempts to make the robot follow we failed. We asked another pair to see their programming which had success, and we just had something wrong so once we changed it and we were away. Also with Robocup coming up, we had changed the design of the robot, and we had lights on it, so I was on a mission to try and get them working. After a while of fiddling around, I found an odd looking block, so I tried it, and it turned out that it was for the lights, so we got the two lights working, green and red so that looked awesome, considering it was for rescue. After morning tea, we had to switch over on to maps. Our maps are made out of 6x6 A3 sheets of paper, By now we are only half of the way taping all the bits together. Which is a very long way behind all of the other groups. So we taped and odd number of sheets of paper on to our maps and drew some lines. By the time we were finished, our time was up and we had to go. For the map, we have a river, a few trees, a log and a house which, isn't bad. and that was it for the day, back to school!
