Robitics with Ms Chowfin

This term in robotics we have done different things we started off making a mars rover that can navigate mars on a website called tinker cad. My rover had a camera on an adjustable arm, solar panels connected to a box filled with rechargeable batteries, a metal box to balance out the weight and wheels with suspension so it can navigate the land without falling over. After that we made a Lego rover with a sphero inside to move around it had 5 wheels so it went slower but turned better it fell apart half way through but we fixed it. Next we started playing code of combat where we started learning how to read and write java script. Java script is also case sensitive so you need capitals where capitals are need other wise it wont work. I learned how to make the character move left, right, up, down, mover in loops and attack. The code to move right is hero.moveRight(); in the brackets you change how many times your character does the action. We started using code to move the sphero to make it move in directions. In the last few weeks of our module we started using class craft where you level up your character by doing tasks your teacher has set for your group to do then you get coins and xp. Coins are used to buy new outfits you unlock by leveling up and the xp is used for leveling yo up.
