The morning class had three projects - TOOLO vehicles, sail car, and train.

Build a train track completely around the stair well.



This room can have many tracks.

The computer chip are read by the train to do many different things.








 

The SUDOKU was done quickly. Good tean work. This is going to be a successful day.

There are 4 mission to be accomplished in two minutes.
Clear the dust off the solar panel, go to and stay for 20 seconds at a given place,

raise the communication tower and bring back the loop.

They set up the Mars mat.

Programs were tweaked and practiced.

All parts can be done.

Programs were tested.


The big kids really played piano and then wrote music that they programmed on the robots.

An extra mission will be to play music.

Even the loop can be picked up.



 

The big challenge is that the 2 minute rounds must be run in front of adults.

Communications tower is raised.

Loop is tough.


Each team had a round.

NXT improved most over practice. White had the high score before.

Green had the high score for the contest.
