Speed

February 17, 2006
rate = distance / time
r=d/t
The Cities and Transportation sets have a speed trap.

There is a RoboLab program on the Cities and Transportation directory.
Modify the set up to have a longer distance between light sensors
for the start and finish line.




Using the eLab sets build the rubber band strain car and the capacitor car.
Set up Vision Command if you would like to view on camera.





The time can be viewed on the RCX.

Danny fixed the FLL 2005 sets for the TAG classes.

Then came over to the fifth grade class and worked on the programming for speed.

See http://netapps.marshall.edu/lego/lessonplans/speed/speed.html
for program.
