Week 1 – Brayden

During robotics class last week we bought a .space domain. We bought this domain so that we could document what we are completing each week and the projects we work on, because at the RoboCup competition they will ask you what you and your team have learnt, and the projects you have completed preparing for the competition. By using this domain we are learning the fundamental components of WordPress; which is what we are using to manage and build our domain. This week we installed the Lego Mindstorms EV3 software so that we can program the Mindstorms robot. During the session we observed the EV3 line-following software and how it uses programming blocks. We also tried moving the colour sensor closer to the centre in front of the robot and closer to the wheels to see what difference it would make, and how it would affect the robots ability to stay on the line and manage the sharper turns.
