Capture the Edison Flag
Notes
Prerequisites:
This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots.
Context:
This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club.
Students should be given several days to complete the “design and construct” portion of this lesson.
The lesson finishes with a competition day followed by a day to reflect.
Objectives:
This week we will:
-Work with partners to design an obstacle course to protect our flag from opponents.
-Work with partners to modify our robot in order to capture an opponent’s flag.
-Objectively evaluate our design in order to make it better.
-Share with the class how we collaborated to complete our goal.
