This week at AIG camp we learned about robotics. First we learned how the system of robotics has evolved over time. Did you know that the first recorded robot was invented in the 1800s? Are you aware that robots have been used in several different fields including manufacturing, entertainment, defense, medicine, and exploration? We have classified robots into three categories: autonomous, master-slave, and remote controlled. Our robots are autonomous, so it is our job to program them well so they can complete their given tasks! We hope you enjoy reading about our adventure this week.

Claire & Madison1.
How did you solve the problem(s) you were presented with? We solved problems by using the trial and error method , trying on idea and if it was wrong or didn't work then we would try another way or method. 2. What adjustments did you need to make? We needed to go on the NXT program and "redo" or "tweek" our program to make adjustments. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? You could use the trial and error method that we used. 4. What have you learned today? I've learned about the different types of robots , how robots can be programmed and lastly how to construct a lego NXT robot. |
Hunter & Josiah1.
How did you solve the problems(s) you were presented with? We did the best effort on our robot to make sure it followed the course, and maybe needed a few adjustments so it will be consistent. 2. What adjustments did you need to make? The robot had to take different turns at different times, so we adjusted it just right. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? Try to just do your best. 4. What have you learned today? I've learned about engineering and programming and building a robot. |
Gray & William1.
How did you solve the problem(s) you were presented with? We estimated what kind of effort the robot would need to put out, programmed it in, and tweaked if it needed it. 2. What adjustments did you need to make? The maze course needed some sharp turns, so I adjusted the turns to pivot. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? That they can solve it if they try and persevere. 4. What have you learned today? I learned how to build a Lego robot. Also, I learned how to program it. |
Justin & Jonathon1. How did you solve the problem(s) you were presented with?
Specifically working together and using both our brains at a cooperating capacity 2. What adjustments did you need to make? The adjustments we needed to make were adjustments that would best help our robot move better and more efficiently. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? Always, Always, Always work together. Put the teams best interest or ideas before your own. Also be willing to compromise. 4. What have you learned today? It doesnt matter how hard the problem is, if you think hard enough and work properly with your partner you will achieve success! |
Stephen & Sayan1.
How did you solve the problem(s) you were presented with? We had a little trouble working together. 2. What adjustments did you need to make? We needed to focus. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? Just focus and work together. 4. What have you learned today? I've learned the amazing things that 2 people can do if they put their minds to it, and i also learned ROBOTS ARE AWESOME!!!!! |
Zara & Isla1.
How did you solve the problem(s) you were presented with? . We worked together to make everything perfect. 2. What adjustments did you need to make? . The duration of the turns and distance. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? . Start fresh from the beginning and work together 4. What have you learned today? . How to work together and work the robot. |
Charley & John1.
How did you solve the problem(s) you were presented with? We had a base already built, so we could instantly go to the electronics, making programming our priority and our strength. 2. What adjustments did you need to make? We had to flip the back wheel over, and add ALL sensors. 3. What advice would you give someone who had to solve a similar problem? Take it apart, and rebuild it. If you can't do that, KEEP TRYING. 4. What have you learned today? Teamwork with Charley/John builds off each other's strengths. |
