Robotics in the stars

 LI: To try the mBot to draw a star shape for Matariki This week the year 8s of LS2 coded the mBots to drive in a star aligned path. To make the code we used different action codes. We used a code that allows the mBot to move forwards, left and right, and the seconds the mBot has to do the task at. We drew a star on a large piece of paper and we tested our mBot on the paper. After we have tested our first one we made changes to further improve our mBot code.

We then tested it with some code to make sure that it worked correctly. Here are the parts of the MBot that I took apart. This is the not assembled MBot. This is the assembled MBot. This is the program I used.
