Year 9 Robots in Systems Technology

Building Mindstorm EV3 robots in Year 9 is a very fun experience. It is exciting to take bits and pieces and turn them into a functioning machine.

We worked together in teams, brainstorming ideas and tackling sudden challenges. After creating the codes we could watch the robots move and it was very rewarding. We cheered  each other – then competed in a robot sumo competition. For our robot we had four engines and we coded all of the engines to go 100% full thrust. It was very powerful and that is how we won. I have to give credit to my friend who helped with the modifications.

Our experience was very enjoyable and Mr Bolte was a great teacher who helped us achieve.
