Robots!

Last week in class we built and programmed the lego robots. I thought the lab was fun and a good break from the typical lecture style class most of us have to sit though all day. My partner and I built the robot fairly easily, and we successful in programming it to go forwards, backwards and to make sounds. We also got our robot to go in a 1/2 meter circle with some trial and error. Overall I thought the lab was really interesting. It definitely made me think how difficult and time consuming it must be to build a real robot and program it to do specific things, because it took us two class periods and a ton of trial and error just to put together a simple lego robot. If we could program our little lego robot to do the simple movements and commands, I can only imagine the abilities experts have, I am sure the possibilities are almost endless.
