Using Robots to Complete Tasks

Fifth graders have successfully built their robot chassis and practiced navigating their robot with a controller. Their first robotic task to complete involved collecting three blocks in under two minutes on a playing field. Students had to work with their team to design a robot that could help them accomplish this task. They then had to run three trials to test their design. I so proud to report that all teams were successful at designing their robot to complete this task! One team even figured out a design that allow them to collect the blocks in only 15 seconds!
