Mantis Head and pincers from LEGO Mindstorms EV3

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.
