Not So Robo Lesson

It was a rather frustrating lesson as the battery of our NXT block wasn't functioning correctly for the majority of the time. Reloading the firmware was the problem until realized that there was no `Communication Successful` message. At the very end our teacher solved the problem and we were off, for the last ten minutes of the lesson. We did though mange to complete Pilot 1 and Pilot 2 and are eager to get on with Pilot 3.

Overall, it was a frustrating day but we look forward to next lesson, in which we can crack on and really get going on building our robot.

Getting To Know Robotic Features

We answered the question sheet about the video we watched last lesson. On the question sheet it asked for example:

• Where are the motors imported on the NXT block?
• Where are the sensors imported on the NXT block?
• Name the 4 sensors and explain the functions of each of them.
  Before moving on to the next task we handed in the question sheets to our teacher. Unfortunately, we were unable to begin the next task so I look forward to next lesson in which we can commence the new task. Hopefully we can push on quickly so then we will be able to start using our robots around the track, where we can maybe even race eachother.

Modern Robotics

We started Robolab and went through the video, which explains where the motors are imported and where the 4 different sensors are imported.
