= Year Six Robotics Work = Year Six has been learning how to construct and program robots.

We will be using these pages to show videos, pictures, audio footage and work of the students.

** Week 1 and 2: ** We learnt all about robots and how to put them together. This involved lots of discussion and working cooperatively with each other in order to assemble the robots correctly. See program on wetpaint page for further detail.


 * Week 3 and 4: ** We learnt all about Pilot Level 1 We have learnt how to turn the robot using one motor.

 Week 6: We learnt how to program the robots to do Level 3. We had lots of fun learning how to program the robots to hit the wall, turn, bump into things and do complete loops. We had to think critically about why our robots would not always stop when they hit a degree of light. 
 * Week 5: **  We have learnt all about Pilot Level 2: Two wheel turning using two motors.
 * Week 7: **  ​We programmed our robots using Pilot Level 4. This was extremely challenging as we tried to program our robots to move along a black line and on lines of different colours. We worked collaboratively to decide on the way the robots should be programmed.

Week 8- 10: We worked collaboratively to complete our GRASP tasks. We had to think about how we could create a robot that could go into a swine infested area and remove a sample of swine flu. This was very challenging. We asked Mrs Knowles, our school robotics expert to come in and teach us how to best approach this task. She also answered questions that Miss Wilson was unable to answer.
