1. The Basics
Subtitle

11. Do Now
Make any necessary structural adjustments to your bot.

12. What makes something a robot?
A computer that needs to be programmed (to think)
Inputs (Sensors – to learn about its surroundings)
Outputs (Motors – acts based on what it senses)

13. How can we measure how far one rotation is?

14. Challenge 1: Save the Animal
Benny the dog is stuck on a volcano that is about to erupt. Have your bot get as close as it can to Benny using only rotations.

15. The Display Block

16. Challenge 2: Accuracy
Program your bot to move forward exactly cm to save Benny using only rotations.

Lesson Objective: Investigate the different type of motor blocks to perform different types of turns and use them for specific situations to complete a dirving course.

19. Turning There are three types of turns; spin, pivot, and smooth.
Spin (Swing) Turn – one wheel moves forward the other wheel moves back with the same power.
Pivot (Point) Turn – on wheel moves forward and the other stays stationary, the robot will turn on the wheel that is not moving.
Smooth Turn – both wheels turning in the same direction, but one is moving faster than the other – the robot will move in the direction of the slower wheel.

20. Spin Turn
Spin (Swing) Turn – one wheel moves forward the other wheel moves back with the same power.
What coding block(s) can we use for this? Why?

21. Challenge 1: Spin, Spin, Spin
Part 1: Have your bot complete a spin turn to the right.
Part 2: Have your bot complete a spin turn to the left.
Part 3: Have your bot move forward for 6 rotations and make a left spin turn.

22. Pivot Turn
Pivot (Point) Turn – on wheel moves forward and the other stays stationary, the robot will turn on the wheel that is not moving.
What coding block(s) can we use for this? Why?

23. Challenge 2: Part 1: Have your bot complete a pivot turn to the right.
Part 2: Have your bot complete a pivot turn to the left.
Part 3: Have your bot move forward for 6 rotations and make a right pivot turn.

24. Smooth Turn
Smooth Turn – both wheels turning in the same direction, but one is moving faster than the other – the robot will move in the direction of the slower wheel.
What coding block(s) can we use for this? Why?

25. Challenge 3: Smoooooooth
Part 1: Have your bot complete a smooth turn to the right.
Part 2: Have your bot complete a smooth turn to the left.
Part 3: Have your bot move forward for 6 rotations and make a left smooth turn.

26. Challenge 4: Drive Course
Program your bot to move autonomously through the drive course, and park in the available parking lot. Do not forget the rules of the road!
