Description
Students discuss what should be done to find out all the data needed to send the robot successfully.
Students describe how to solve this task.
Student has the following resources: robot that can enter how many degrees it rotates motors (runs straight) and tape measure.
One full turn of engine is equal to one full turn of wheel.
How long does the robot travel in one wheel turn?
C = 2 * π * r
How many degrees in one wheel turn?
How long does the robot travel in one wheel turn?
The bigger the wheel the more you drive.
How many degrees the wheels have to turn, and the robot would reach the right place?
Who came closest to the right place?
