Which goals were not achieved:  finishing off the dance

Progress: Today we worked more on the drawing of the dance movements and we also programmed group 4's robot just to see how everything was going, there were some minor problems with the programming but we were able to fix it in the end.

Goal for the lesson:  Our goal for today's lesson was to make our robot do the boogie or dance and then we wanted to make our robot be able to knock a ball over from the ball holder.

Which goals were not achieved:  
Making our robot dance and knock the ball over

Progress:

We weren't able to make our robot do the set goals because we ran out of time trying to add the arm and make the ball holders, we ran into a lot of problems with this part of the challenge and decided to try just build and edit the robot before we made it dance

Goal for the lesson: Trying to program our robot to hit the ball with his hockey stick, and making our robot do the boogie

Which goals were not achieved: We weren't able to program our robot banana to hit the ball with his hockey stick because the instructions we didn't know how to make the instructions work

Progress: 

So far banana our robot hasn't been working with our instructions and we had to keep trying to work with it but it was a bit hard trying to understand how to get our robot to use the hockey stick to hit the ball. So we moved on and made our robot banana do the boogie instead.

Goal for the lesson:  The goal for the lesson was to just test and try out some other activities like talking, and trying to knock a ball from the holder.


Which goals were not achieved: N/A

Progress:

We made our robot move and talk at the same time. We programmed it to say: "yellow", "watch out" and "you're good". He does a point turn and stops just short of the box.

Goal for the lesson:  To come up with a name for our robot, to add on more components to our robot and program our robot to be able to speak, and knock over a ball


Which goals were not achieved: We weren't able to get our robot to knock over a ball because we ran out of time in the lesson, but other than that we achived most of our goals

Progress:

Our robot has completed most of the challeneges and we are still playing around with the programming to see what else we can make our robot capable of doing. We edited our robot as well giving him another arm which we will later program him to knock over a ball
