Robotics at Tech

Today we went to Tech at tamaki collage. Today tasks was to join all our programs to finishes the obstetrical. First we needed it to move in a square shaped The blocks is used was Action. I needed to think about how long I needed my robot to spin to turn right. It took a lot of try's but I got there in the end. We then needed to make it avoid objects using the ultrasonic sonic sensor. We also needed to make it follow the white line. Lastly we needed to make it stop at the x shape. This was hard as we only used to programming it to follow the black line. This week we didn't have a winner as we all did not complete the task. A big thank to Mrs Muinzo and Mrs Dun for this amazing experience hopeful we get to do more next term.

Tech

This week was another session of Tech at Tamaki Collage. Today we were going to program our Mbot to move in a square shape. Before Programming we looked at two words we needed to know in robotics. We looked at Automation,Variable and Algorithms. Automation means A equipment that does something for you automatically. Automatically means something that is done by it self it is also know as a technology.Variable means a change of something it also means a factor or element that Liable to a vary change. In math this means a symbol or letter that represents a number. Next we stared to program. We used the app Make bot to program our Mbot. The blocks is used was Action. I needed to think about how long I needed my robot to spin to turn right. It took a lot of try's but I got there in the end. When then got to give out a reward to people who program first me and aung naig each got a chocolate bar for our achievement. At the end we headed to one of the computer and watched  a video showing the new Tesla car that is program to self drive.
