-=- Last Blog (Instructions etc) -=-

Sadly, this is our last post.
Here are instructions:

1. Upload the code on to Arduino
2. Then upload it to the robot
3. Press the white button 
4. Then wait for the robot to move, make sure the robot is charged before operating.

Have fun playing with our robot

Regards,

team captain Phoebe and group (Chi, Isabella, Trinity, and Danica)

Finishing touches

Chi

I personally think the robot turned out better than expected, and now were doing the finishing touches such, as charging the robot, and testing it out to dodge objects.

Phoebe 

I personally think the robot turned into something really awesome.

Trinity

When the robot is charged and its able to move he will be able to do lots of cool stuff.

Danica

I am so excited to see how it turns out and he is so cute our robot.I can't wait to find out our results on Monday.PS our robots name is FreddieBot.

Isabella

I personally think that freddiebot will turn out great and as danica wrote i can't wait until we get our results on Monday.P.S i really like the way our robot turned out and it was a lot of fun doing it considering that we only got a half an hour to do it each week.

Trinity
I am excited about this robot we called him Freddy bot.

Danica
I am very excited to see what freddiebot turns out to be like and i can't wait to see the finished product.

Isabella
I think it turned out very well and once the programming is uploaded it will turn out fabulous

Phoebe
I think the robot will be very awesome when its all programmed.

Chi
I 'm proud of the group. The robot turn

ed out better then expected. We are having difficulties uploading the  programming. Freddy Bot, looks wonderful. 

Here's a picture of us, without our captain

This is our team.

This is our team Captain Phoebe programming.

Nearly Done

Trinity

I am so excited to bring the robot to life. We have worked so hard on it and I think  that by the time we've finished all the work will have payed off.

Danica

I think it's turning out well and I'm excited to see the finished product.:D

Chi

We used 2 sets of cable ties and it's getting really frustrating.

Captain (Phoebe)

It's getting really hard and frustrating.I just wish it was easier!

Isabella

I think the robot will turn out really good......in the end.

We all can't wait until it's finished. Everyones worked so hard!

Nearly finishing the robot

Trinity

I am surprised at how well were going and how much we've done. I am so exited about this.

Danica

I didn't think it would be as easy as it's turning out. It's been really quick and I'm enjoying it.

Building Process and Coding

Danica

I am having loads of fun building the robot but it is really frustrating and fairly hard i hope at the end of this it all turns out good.

Chi

The building of the robot is quite hard, harder than I thought it would be. We've had some accidents, as were typing this, Isabella is bleeding…..I hope no more accidents will happen in the near future.

Trinity

   I love the building because its so much fun and the coding is fun to do. 

Isabella

I think it is very hard, i also think it would be ten times easier if we had to make a game.

We are all having lots of fun!

coding process

Today Chi taught our group (Isabella,Captain (Phoebe),and Trinity) about coding.

Phoebe
I personally think that our group should be proud that we are getting somewhere and that someone knows how to code.

Trinity
I personally think coding is very complicated, and if we did a lot of research, it would probably be less complicated, but I'm glad Chi is here to help us.

Izy
I think that coding is tricky but at the same time is a lot of fun.

links

Phoebe


Today Phoebe went home and discovered blogger links and read all the competition information.
Phoebe was really interested about everything she read.

intal thoughts

Phoebe {Captain}

I also think that the robot is super cool and really pretty, really adorable.

Isabella {Co-Captain}

I also think that the robot if it was a toy in the shop it would be very cool to have one.

Chi, {Coder/Edioter}

I have done research on coding and learnt about void and loop().

Trinity + Danica {Second co captins}

I think that the robot would turn out okay because, of all the little pieces and simple parts. :D

coding

Chi  went home and started coding and looked at how
the coding works.When Chi came back to school she told us about what she did at home for coding.

Initial Thoughts

Isabella

I think that the robot looks pretty cool and very cute.

I also think it would be very hard to build.

Our Initial Thoughts

Trinity 

My initial thoughts were WOW!

There are so many small pieces



Chi 
I was amazed on how small everything was.
I expected a huge box with loads of parts.
Instead we got a small box with such complex parts.

Danica

I first thought that we would be working with big metal boxes and big screws, but instead we are working with such complex parts.

Phoebe {Captain}

I was thinking there was big pieces but i was wrong there are lots of small pieces.
I didn't think there were so much complex pieces.

Introduction for Insect Bots

Hi, my name is Phoebe and i am the team captain of the insect bots.

This is the rest of the insect crew, Isabella, Trinity, Danica, and Chi.

We are the team that is creating a robot to dodge any obstacles.

These are our thoughts:

Phoebe

• We make a ramp that the robot starts at and goes down it onto a race course with the obstacles scattered around the area. At the finish line it goes through a maze to the second finish line.

Isabella

I were also thinking that we could make some obstacles pop out of the side and one pops down from the roof e.g. a ball also that we do 40 minutes programming and 20 minutes bloging.

Trinity

• we have two paths one for the robot to go down which as obstacles.then the other path the ball goes down twists and turns.

Chi

• The robot can go down a slope and come out.

Danica

• we have the robot on a big long track and time it while the obstacles are popping out.

Let's get our dodge on...

Our blog is up and working...so now its time to get our dodge on!
