Grades are finalized at the end of this week. Check the gradebook and make sure that I've seen everything you've completed. Any missing work not turned in before the end of this six weeks will forever be a zero. These will fail some of you if you choose to make no change.
THIS is your time to fix it.
If you haven't already, show me your notebook. It's a grade, an easy one if you do it, and a zero if you don't.
0) Notebook Check
If you haven't yet, setup your notebook today. Put your technical drawings in there and update your table of contents.
When it's complete, bring it to me for grading.
1) Lego NXT
Start learning a bit about what we'll be working with.
The website Ortop.org has some useful resources, including an NXT Introduction video which goes over some of the components we'll be using to build robots.
Watch the NXT Introduction video and answer the following questions on your blog:
1. Fill in the Blank
The heart of the NXT System is the NXT brick. Its a full 16bit microprocessor. You can plug sensors in along the _________ and motors in along the ___________.
2. Open-Ended
What are the four sensors it discusses and what do they measure?
3. Short Answer
How does the NXT Brick know how many rotations the motor has made?
4. Short Answer: Step-by-Step
How would I make the robot run the program I wrote?
5. Short Answer: Step-by-Step
How do I turn off the NXT brick?
2) Lightbot
On your blog, reflect on your Light-Bot experience. (things to think about: how is it related to robots, how might light-bot be relative to the course, how might playing light-bot benefit you, did you find anything challenging, etc)
Afterwards, you will have a worksheet to complete that builds on your experience gained in Lightbot. Its due next class period. So don't worry too much if you're a bit behind, or if you end up playing with Lightbot longer than you intended.
