GROUP 6 - 25/06/12


Roles
Rebecca - Programmer
Monique - Flowchart
Kirsti - Builder

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.
