Intermediate Level 2
Lesson 4
Testing with Robbie the Robot
How can we apply our new designing skills to the robot we built in Lesson 3? Before we begin, watch this video to learn how to connect your controller to your robot brain.
Test your robot and clear the construction debris!
Guidelines:
Your robot needs to move as much debris as it can into the designated area
Your robot must stay inside the course boundaries
Move the debris inside the box!
Step 3: Observe
Record your observations in your engineering notebook.
Are there any parts of the challenge your robot can't do?
Can your robot complete the challenge?
Observe the other robots completing the challenge. Record what happens.
Observe your robot during the challenge. Discuss these questions with your teammates.
Step 4: Discuss
Record your observations in your engineering notebook.
How much debris was your robot able to clean up?
What was different about your design compared to the other robots?
Based on your testing, would you make any changes to your robot?
Step 5: Redesign
Now that you have tested your robot and discussed the results, draw up a new design for your robot that inludes the changes you discussed. Add this to your engineering notebook.
