ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Using the MBOT robots assembled in the first experiment, students will explore their main programming features and abilities by playing with simple mathematical theories, which may be chosen according to the students' age. As an example in the proposed code Pythagoras' Theorem is used. Students will have to develop the codings for calculating the hypotenuse of a triangle using the mBot.
The work of the students consists first of all, in developing the flow chart needed for this activity.
They have to realize what their unknown variable is, and then they have to create the formula for calculating it.
For this purpose, they also need to be aware of what parameters they need. So, the coding also has to ask the player about the value of these parameters.
In the meanwhile, all the information must be shown in a Led Matrix and also in the screen of the computer.
