A block

The project that i really liked this year was the robot that we had to design and program to go through a course. We were not aloud to use any directions and we had to make up our own design as a group and try to see if it ran. My design was pretty simple. It had one motor with one wheel on one side of the command block and the same thing on the other side which made the robot pretty balanced. I also made a small wheel on the back of the robot so that it would be able to drive straight, turn at a 90 degree angle and balance. My design for the robot was pretty successful. All of my programing was perfect but it was hard to get the robot to do the exact same thing every single time so it got pretty frustrating. My robot got through the course once or twice without touching any of the walls but it was hard to do. If i could improve my robot, i would try to get it more balanced and try to get the two big wheels to move exactly the same without wiggling. From this project, i learned that with hard work on something, you can eventually accomplish it. If you were to do this project next year, you should let them use the directions on their actual thing and have them make up the programing because it was hard to get the wheels right and get it perfectly stable to run.
