The Cook Kids Ayden and Kai built a great robot and tested their robot thorugh the stages fine tuning their programming. Their robot had some trouble finding the red, but then realized their senor wasn't working. Great patience! Great team work. On their last try for the challenge teir robot turned to go around the basket and kit a glitch. Luckily for them the robot stopped right behind the basket allowing them to use the string to pull the robot and the basket to themselves. They retrieved the key! 5 - For working robot 5 - Planning and testing program in stages 5 - Photo of sign 5 - Finding basket 3 - String around basket 5 - For robot that returns on it's own. 5 - For retrieving the key 9 - Teamwork Total = 42 | Team 2 Jaylam found a great loophole to the rules which saved their team and others lots of work. A video instead of a picture as you can cut a frame from a video for a picture or worse take a picture of the video. This team quickly went to work and had a great design for their robot and a very secure camera holder. On the first go around the mission they nailed it! Way to go (and great job helping other team!) 5 - For working robot 5 - Planning and testing program in stages 5 - Photo of sign 5 - Finding basket 5 - String around basket 5 - For robot that returns on it's own. 5 - For retrieving the key 10 - Teamwork 3 - Bonus first complete 1st go and return without string. Total = 48 | Aydenator 9000 The only team to attempt line following for the mission. It takes a lot of patience to work it out, but they did it! Great patience and hitting the drawing board. On their 2nd attempt the robot didn;t make it all the way back but some creative solution came in that the basket could push the robot back and sure enough, the basket and the robot all returned back to the tunnel entrance and the key was retrieved. Well done! 5 - For working robot 5 - Planning and testing program in stages 5 - Photo of sign 5 - Finding basket 5 - String around basket 5 - For robot that returns on it's own. 5 - For retrieving the key 8 - Teamwork Total = 43 |
