![]() ![]() The machine can move slowly, but it must be capable of carrying a lot of weight. Must be large enough to move all of the equipment at once. One of the pieces of equipment is an old R2 Unit. Some of these rooms are on the second floor, so the machine should be able to traverse vertically. They need a machine to move all of their heavy equipment, at one time, from room to room. ![]() ![]() The leaders of the rebellion need to establish a head command center for their new base. In order for our class to successfully battle the Empire we needed to complete all 3 tasks for our new base! We were successful in all of our missions.way to go Jedi's! We will see whose car can go 20 feet the fastest at our competition next week! The SPEED RACE CAR ROLLER COASTER! We are applying gear trains that increase speed. We will go through different mechanisms and programming skills as we build the rides at the park! All of the Carousels turned out AWESOME! They were all given the same task but none turned out the same.Your kids are incredibly creative and talented!įriday was a blast as we began our second ride of the summer. This summer we will be designing, creating, and programming a VEX Amusement Park. Thursday was spent on our first Amusement Park ride, the carousel. We take our mechanisms and add motors, sensors, and coding to make the robot perform an action. We are now in the "automation" phase of robotics. On Wednesday we started coding in RobotC! Students really got the hang of things quickly and I am so excited to see them apply their coding skills to their new robotic designs. Students learned quickly that like our robotics parts spaghetti is fragile! In order for robotics to work well we need to be careful with our parts and use communication to convey our ideas. Students had to transport dry spaghetti noodles in between 2 plates to the bucket. Students demonstrated excellence and the ability to think like robotic engineers! In addition, we had another teamwork challenge. Tuesday we wrapped up our last "mechanism" challenge, this is the last build we will have that doesn't require programming. We are learning a lot and are getting to really jump into the world of VEX Robotics. I can not even believe that our 2nd week of summer academy is over! We are at the halfway point and I can honestly say I don't want it to end! Your kids are fantastic and I enjoy having every one of them in this class. ![]()
