Barboursville Middle School September 18, 2003 Mars Rock Launch

The next two students programmed a way to launch a tissue "rock". The ball bounces and makes noise. The hardest part of programing the movements was the right turn so that was done first.  After figuring out the correct timing,  they did the first step of go forward for the correct amount.



Ready for the ball!



Davis Creek Mars has rocks, too.  See how our "quiet" rock compares.



It was simple to add a "cleaner" to get the dust off the solar panel.



Now, how to deliver a ball ???
