"Walking" the robot with Alex. She had programmed hers to go all the way down the hall, turn, enter the bathroom, make several turns and end up in front of a toilet. HILARIOUS stuff for 3/4/5th graders. She wanted to figure out how to get it to push the elevator button but didn't have the pieces to make an arm that could press a button. Maybe next year...
They programmed them to go through different mazes. They have to calculate when to have it make each turn, based on the number of wheel revolutions needed to cover each distance.
They also attached both light and sound sensors to their bots - when the sensor found the dark line, it would follow it around the circle.
Jake and Alex were enthralled - only a few more years and they can go too!
