In Code Club this week participants learnt to code or drive a Sphero (robotic ball) through a maze. The participants started the lesson with learning how to code their Sphero and then participants could either code or drive their Sphero through a maze that was set up by the presenters. The participants found this both difficult and incredibly fun. This week in robotics, it was time for the participants to learn how to code their robot to follow a line. It may seem simple to us, but the robot can’t “see” how a human does. It sees by comparing colours, touches, and distance to see or feel the environment and then act on the code it has been given. For example, if the robot was to follow a black line on a white background, the robot has to use its colour sensor to detect the two colours, move forward and make a decision of “if I see white, turn left” or “if I see black, go right”, essentially moving forward doing a zig-zag on the floor. The participants were definitely up to the challenge.
Well done again participants for rising to the challenges that we set each week and succeeding.
