Taylor Dale's Build it
Lego Robot
For this project we learned to code a LEGO robot! We used the app LEGO Mind storm to lower its arm over a block of "toxic waste" and raise its arm, back up, turn around, run away, and hide behind a creature (the item I choose to make from the LEGO quest website.) To the right is a video of our robot in action!
To the left are the materials used for the project. The materials consist of the LEGO robot, the block of "toxic waste", the materials we used to make the creature, and the creature!
Above is a screenshot of the program we used on the app LEGO mindstorm to make our robot move, raise its arm, turn around, run, and hide. The program begins with the robot moving until it is 4cm away from the block of "toxic waste" it then drops it arm over the block and pushes it forward which is seen in the fourth and fifth box above. The robot lifts its arm (box 6) and slowly backs away (box 7). The robot then turns around and runs toward the creature and then turns one more time and hides behind the creature (boxes 8-12.) When i started the program I thought it would be simple you just had to make the robot do what you wanted but that is much easier said then done. So many variables can affect one thing which affects the whole program. It took me and my partner several tries to get it right.
