Lego Mindstorm Robotics Lab

Last Thursday our class experimented with Lego “Mindstorm” robotics.  I greatly enjoyed being able to engage in a hands on activity in class.    I learned a lot about Lego robotics.  The software seems very confusing at first, these little robots certainly have the potential to be very complicated, but working with partners made the task a lot easier.  Our lab was a fairly simple one, to have the Robot move forward in  a straight line and record how far it went and how fast it got there.  we also measured the wheel diameter as well as how many rotations occurred during the run.

The Robot in all its Lego glory

 

Measurements:

  • Wheel diameter: 86cm
  • Time: 1.25 seconds
  • Distance: 29cm
  • Wheels 1: 849 Rotations
