This week for our year 8 robotics session we went to Tamaki College and worked with Ms. Ferguson. The above google draw showcases the pictures of our learning. Florence, Ellenora and me first measured the track by a ribbon and the length was 8.90 meters. Then we learned about the formula which was speed is equal to distance divided by time. We then coded for the robot so it could sense the black line with the infrared sensor. I was given the responsibility to use the stopwatch to see the time for each person and measure the speed. The final scores for the race were Florence as first, Mathew as second and me as third. I also received a chocolate for coming third. I really enjoyed this week's tech class and also enjoyed working with Ms. Ferguson.
Hi Sakshi...You did really well with the algebra you were given to work out the speeds. Good job on the time keeping job and coming third!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Ms. Ferguson,
DeleteI am glad you liked my work and thank you for the amazing feedback. Thank you for teaching us and commenting on my blog.
Hi Sakshi I like how you were able to show the links between Coding, Math (Algebra) and Physics. I wonder what made some MBOts faster than others? May be a further investigation on the cards. Do enjoy your two week holiday.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Mr. Russel,
DeleteI am glad you liked my work and thank you for the amazing feedback. There would probably be three reasons for the different speed of the mBots: First that each had a different battery and so if we have the same code we would still have different speeds, Second is the light coming on the tracks which would slightly change the color and block the infrared sensors, Third would be the different speed and time set in the codes in our chrome books.
