What kinds of activities do you do with robot? Is there a goal
like a robot competition or do the kids just assembly the robot
and play?Do you have any class materials you use for Arduino?
We've not built it yet (well, I have on a breadboard and then dismantled it a few times) I'm hoping they get familiar with coding and control before finally bolting things together. At the moment they are messing with LED's and push buttons. Programming seems to be a struggle and not all are that interested - they just 'want to build a robot' but have little idea what it actually entails.
The final goal will be an autonomous robot, a robotic pet really that can roam around and maybe interact. I've been tinkering with the idea of emotions for it - angry (charging at objects), scared (hiding) stuff like that.
