 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.

 LI: To learn how to code the Micro-bit to play rock paper scissors and understand how the flowchart matches the code Link to the DLO   1.When I shake the micro bit it will choose a random number between 1 and 3  2. I have to make a variable called hand and set this to random number 3.If the number is 1 - the Micro-bit will show the symbol for Rock 4.If the number is 2 - the Micro-bit will show the symbol for Paper 5.If the number is 3 - the Micro-bit will show the symbol for Scissors 

LI: To code the robot to move back words and without touching it - to be a Jedi  My robot will wait until I have pressed the onboard button before it does anything , we used an , if , then , else block as this gives robot to chances to do , we are using the ultrasonic sensor on the front of the robot , 10 cm in front of it ....  If something is 10 cm less in front of the robot , it will have to move backwards , if something is not less than 10 cm in front of the robot , it will move forwards (ELSE) If something is not less than 1-cm in front of the robot , it will have to move forward(ELSE) This is all put into a forever block so that the robot constantly sense what is in front of it.
