Lego Robotics Camp

Jaxton went to a Lego robotics camp at science center museum. He loved every minute of it. They got a base robot called and EV3 and they added on with Legos to make it look however they wanted. Jackson had one teammates to work with all week.  They named their robot the battle bot.

They got to program different features to their robot. The tournament ring was to have a white ring around the outside of a black circle. So Jaxton and his teammate programmed the robot two cents the color white.if it sensed the color white it would back up and turn around to go a different direction. This would avoid the robot from falling off the tournament ring. They programmed other features such as speed and pressure when it came into contact with something they programmed the amount of force it would use against the opponent.  

At the end of the week they were able to compete to robots at a time. It was a full on tournament. Jackson's robot made it through three brackets of the tournament before another robot beat him on the last two brackets. After the tournament the kids robots got to attack the teacher robot one teacher robot to eight attacking robots.  It was so much fun to watch. It was even more fun to see Jaxton so proud and totally in his element.
