Mars, Robots,
and Egg Fling
April 3, 2013
Meet the new alien robotics team.
Build a rover
and program it in RoboLab.
Get it to go around the box and come back.
The group that did learn robotics is now doing the Mars Express Challenge.

They can CAD their projects.
Exact distance challenge was done in the afternoon.
It is easy to fling a plastic egg a very long way but the challenge
is to get the eggs into a basket.
Place the flinger exactly one meter from a basket.
Use LDD for CAD of the above projects on http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/gallery

Press axle to release the egg.
They got it figured out so well
that they were successful each time when they demonstrated in their
classroom.
