Robotic Arm

Robotic Arm Lab

1. Gather spiral and pencil.

2. Gather Robotic Arm are go to Robotic Arm Station.

3. Write Robotic Arm Lab on top line, centered. Date your page.

4. Skip a line.

5. Write Diagram. Draw and label. Can you use this diagram's labels to label your diagram of this Robotic Arm?

6. Explore with how to move the Robotic Arm.
7. Look at the many items in the kit. Create tasks for the robot to do. (Place ball in a cup; pick up edge of slinky and let go, roll a die cube, pick up a pencil, write with a pencil, etc.)
8. Write down the tasks you want to try, try them, then write about the process, observations and results of your trial.
9. This lab could be worked on several times because difficulty of task will increase as you explore with it.

LEGO Mindstorms

LEGO Mindstorms

1. Gather your spiral and a pencil.
2. Title Lab:  Mindstorms NXT 
3. Open the LEGO Mindstorms manual (9797).
4. Complete steps to making your Mindstorms NXT.
5.  Skip a line in the spiral. Label and underline: Making the Model
6. Describe how process of making model took place. Easy? Difficult? Any frustrations? Did you have to redo any part? If so, what?
7. Now, begin to explore with programming.
8. Skip a line in your spiral. Label and underline: Programming Results
9. Print out your programs (use SCREEN SHOT command if needed). Tape your programs into your spiral.
10.Write about the program you created. Give them names. Explain what they did. How did you problem solve (battery issues, cord in wrong ports, rewrite program, etc.)?
11. Repeat steps #8-10 for each new program.
12. I expect to see A LOT of programs and writing during this lab. It is easy to keep trying things without documenting. But this is your science grade. Documenting in writing determines your grade! 

RECON LAB

RECON LAB

1. Take RECON out of box.
2. Take RECON'S manual out of the box.
