Figure 8 at the LEGO City

January 15, 2005

Two families tried out the challenge to make a LEGO Draw Bot that could draw a figure 8.

Three different styles worked.

Starting and stopping at the places we wanted was the biggest part of the challenge.


Great work!

Programs can be long or simple if the pen is in the center of the turn.


For a little change we also set up the Intelligent DUPLO Train.

 

For next month we decided to stick to the 8 idea but this time follow a line.

That can be pretty simple.
BUT

how about follow an 8?
Next month bring your own 8 out of marker or tape
and see if you can program a bot to follow the path.
