Soccer

Today we worked on our roaring lion and next week we will be making three projects that should interact handsomely, one soccer kicker, one goalie, and a group of cheering fans.

We have enough sets and the right amount of students to make it work! Watch the video below to get a better idea of what we are going to be building

See you next Tuesday!

Roaring Lion

Our drumming monkeys worked out perfectly today. Teams were able to modify them (software and hardware) to achieve different rhythms.

Next Tuesday, using a tilt sensor we will develop a lion that roars and pounces up on passers by when approached with something to eat (similarly to our first gorilla that moved when bananas were being dangled in front of it).

Please watch the video below in preparation for next class. Thanks and see you on Tuesday!

All good things...

Bathyscaphe descending into a "trench"

This week we finished our bathyscaphe and programmed it. It worked as expected.

All good things must come to an end and so we must say good bye to our first roboCAMP class for now :(

The good news though, is that next session we will be doing three new projects which hopefully will be fun.

Who knows, we may even make something special for Halloween, we will see.

Propeller stops when it reaches bottom.

Thanks and see you in a couple of weeks!

Drumming monkey

Today we finished several projects and explored variations on the software and design of our tops and AT-ST.

Next week we are all going to start a new project: a drumming monkey. Once finished, we will modify our design to produce different beats.

Please watch the video below and pay attention to the last part to learn how we are going to accomplish that variation of our beats.

See you next week.

Almost Finished

Today we finished our bathyscaphe. Next day in class we will program it.

The rest of the class will be devoted to play with all our creations at once.

Here is a picture of our engineers, proudly showing their work during this session.

Congratulations M and J for a job well done!

See you on Friday for our last class.

Spinning Tops

Today we welcomed two new students to our class. Welcome S and T!

We finished our AT-ST walker and two automatic top spinners. Next week we will have a friendly "competition" to study how design, weight and symmetry affect the performance of our tops.

See you next Tuesday!
