Drop the Ball
Students at Culloden can be in their room and drop a ball at Marshall University.
Sending RoboLab programs over the Internet to SENSORSCITY
remotely operates the LEGO computers at Marshall.
Using Red Rover at LEGO.marshall.edu can operate the gate and vehicles
there.
Students using RoboLab here in class
can program their LEGO computers to communicate with each other
to open the gate when a vehicle needs to go through.
The class is working on Power Writing.
Perhaps they will write up their LEGO project for today.
Four fourth grades came in to see the remote programs sent to Marshall
and the two programs that can be run on their LEGO RCX computers.
The RCX programs have mail messages sent back and
forth.
The programs to Marshall have remote data returned.
The graphs from Marshall show the sensor readings from the program
sent to SENSORSCITY.
Viewing the front of an RCX you can see the data that is being read
at the moment.
These four check out the rate of the vehicle then program in the time
for it to travel.
