Review the year in pictures and videos

1. finish Robot Challenge:

• You will have only this class period to complete the challenge
• Your rover has landed on Mars and is tasked to collect a sample from a martian rock.  Due to the terrain, you will have to have your robot automatically navigate around several obstacles in order to get to the rock you need your sample from. (i.e. – your robot will be on one side of the room and the blue ball is on the other with desks and chairs in between.  Your bot must successfully navigate to the ball and knock it over.)
• Good luck teams!

note: tomorrow we will break down the robots and inventory all the peices and make sure your kit is complete

kick off: today you will take turns reading through the following links in preparation for the rocket launches tomorrow.  One student will be in charge of selecting who reads each part…Kolton for 4th and Steven for 5th.

When you finish reading, please make sure your rockets are ready for tomorrow’s launch.
