The other lines of blocks are waiting to get that message. The part with the loop will send a message with the reading from the tip sensor. Make sure the tip sensor in the orange block is set to simply FLAT, not with any arrows. The Martians are throwing Milo a dance party before it heads back to earth.īuild a modification on Milo at this link. Milo should stop at each object it drives by and take a picture and make a sound. Don’t put the objects right in front of Milo, of course. 6 inches is about as far as if you put both your hands flat on the table next to each other. Put the Martian objects in a line so Milo can drive by them all about 6 inches away. Here, you can see the number 5 under the loop block. You can change how many times it repeats or loops. Just place the loop block over your program like an umbrella. Here’s how that looks in our programming blocks. You've just written a more complicated computer program !Īnd just so you know, real computer programmers do the same things, but they write it in computer languages or "code" which uses lots of the funny symbols like on your keyboard like Milo should move, and as it does, the block on the computer will light up so you know where Milo's program is.
MAKE SURE Milo is not going to drive off of a table and fall, then click the yellow & green start button.
CROWN GEAR FROM WEDO LEGO GETTING STARTED BLUETOOTH
This tells the motor to stop immediately when it's done.Ĭonnect Milo to Bluetooth if it's not already (see step 1). This tells the motor how many seconds you want it to turn.įinally drag the motor X block. Choose a number in the blue box under it. It looks like one of those timers where the sand flows through. Next, drag a green one with the hourglass. If you click on it, you'll see it reverses direction. This tells the motor which direction to turn. This tells the motor how much power to use when it turns. Place it next to the yellow start button. On the app on your computer, choose "Home" in the upper right and then "+ new program".Īll the green blocks are for the motor. Milo's mission is to explore, so let's get moving. Now Milo and your mission control computer are connected via Bluetooth which is a short range radio signal. In 5 to 10 seconds, that big robot brick button on your computer should turn dark green, and the big robot brick on Milo should have a constant blue light. Now on your computer, in the upper right, click the picture of the big brick and the bluetooth symbol (looks like a pointy capital B)Ī panel should open and you’ll see your big robot brick with a name something like “You Can Tech”Ĭlick on that. On Milo, push the button on top and hold it for a second until it starts blinking and double beeping Start a new program with the big + button at the bottom left If there's a screen with some kids on it, click the X in the upper right to close that. If you can't find it, ask someone for help. Make sure that your computer's Bluetooth is turned on. Push the button on top of Milo to turn it on. Ī Mission Director has to test to make sure everything is working. If your parent wants, they can add it to their social media with the hashtag #youcantech. Ask your parents to take a picture and upload it to the Classroom site to share with your other M ission D irectors. Let's get to work.Ĭlick here for building instructions which your engineers designed.Īll M ission D irectors document their experiences to improve for the next mission. You asked your best engineers to design a robot for the mission and they've just given you the plans. So if the are there at all, maybe they will come out of hiding. So you are sending a fun, Lego robot that won't scare the Martians. Maybe Martians are small and afraid of the other big robots we've sent there. People have sent several robots to Mars already. Here's a video about a NASA mission to build solar-electric rockets! People in charge of imagining, building, and operating new space exploration technology are called Mission Directors. Congratulations! You are Mission Director for the next mission to Mars!
