Week 3 News
This week, we took a break from playing Next Level to learn more about lifts and how they work. Our brave students disassembled the Flex robots they built in order to build new lifts and code their chassis. We were challenged to figure out how to make four different lifts by looking at a photo. The final step was to make a "how to" video including the pros and cons of each build. Another thing we worked on this week was coding our chassis to complete different tasks. We developed plows and changed them depending on how many hubs we needed to move. Next week we will put all that knowledge to use preparing for the showcase.
