Presenting a sequence of videos, materials and programs for accomplishing the WRO Elementary 2013. We present arrays, menus, counting colors and many more.
This is the eighth level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.
With the help of robots designed for games between students, they learn how to work with variables. Robots keep the score of each player and do calculations with the information in the variables.
In order to group functionality all the time, students use the well-known myBlocks. The concept of behavior is introduced and the programs are organized in many threads that exchange information between each other.
At the end of the level, the robots generate problems with numbers and the students must create equations.
Space stations allow us to learn about and even practice living in space, but improved technology and new international partners require modules to be easily interchangeable.
The robot needs to remove and insert modules among the habitation hub’s portholes.

There were a few problems with the 40 teeth gears that we were using. Let's list some of them
Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot used for accomplishing WRO 2014 mission. It is the full robot with the lift at the top
This robot is part of the category of robots called animals. After following the building instructions you would have a frog that could jump. Of course, the jump depends on the surface and the friction between the robot and the ground... quite complex physics involved. But if you program it to move forward it will try to jump and it is your job to try to make it jump higher.
You could try to extend some of the legs, for example.
Building instruction for both EV3 and NXT. The whole catapult is build in exactly 78 steps.
