L.I: To use the infrared sensors to follow the lines.

This week for Tech we had a little revision about binary which was what we did last week. Our task was to make our M bot move in a figure 8 on a black line. Our revision was the binary work we were doing last week, binary is how robots and computers work. First we started by making sure our M bots were working properly. Then we were making sure our code was correct, but we kept going back and forth so like trial and error. Tech this week was fun to do.

L.I To create a code that makes the Mbot move backwards when my hand is infront of it.

This week for Tech we started by making sure our Mbots were working properly. Then we Tried to make our Mbot move in a straight line but when we put our hand infront of it the Mbot it would move backwards which is like the force. Once we did that we made a copy of a slide that Mrs Ferguson made for us. We took a screen shot of our code to make our Mbot move backwards, and put it on the slide. After that we wrote what the input was and what the output was. Then we took more screen shots and put them on a different slide and wrote what that block was used for in my code.

L.I To code the Mbot using Mblock so it could move in a square.

This week for we had our first Tech Session back at Tamaki College. We were with Mrs Ferguson Doing coding. We used Mblock to help us code our Mbots. This week was just about revising what we did last year with our old robotics teacher Mr Krishna. The first thing we did was make our Mbot move in a straight line. Then we coded our Mbot to move in a square. This was more challenging than last year because The wheels were loose so the Mbot would move diagonally. Tech this week was fun to do.
