Measuring Hearts

February 9, 2007

Two groups worked today on two projects.
The NXT is being built into the Tree Measurer.
The red set is being used for a challenge to make LEGO scissors and cut out a heart.

The trick to having scissors cut turns out to be where the fulcrum is placed.

Handles help and keeping the "blades" tight together is necessary.

See!  It works!


While we were building some one was running the Red Rover.

Almost done.

The handles and the measurer both had parallelograms.
