Robotics+Class+1

17th September 2010. We had our first robotics lesson the 17th September. We were first divided into groups of five, and then we had to pick five simple parts. We had to construct a machine out those simple parts. Then, we had to exchange our machines with other groups. We had to undo the machine we received, and then make the instructions for it. After we had done that we had to exchange with yet another group, and try to make the machine following the instructions. In the end of the lesson we had to present what we managed to make; the creators of the machine and those who wrote the instructions also spoke about the machine. The machine our group constructed was called the Mulin, and it was supposed to act as a sort of a catapult. We named the machine we made instructions for the Football Foot, a.k.a. the Spinner, but evidentially we haven’t done very well on the instructions. The creators said we made some mistakes. We didn’t manage to make a machine following the instructions of another group because the instructions were too hard to understand.
