LEGO
Mindstorms Robotics Kits:
In YET club, we use Lego Mindstorms Robotics kits to build
moving robots. Programming these robots to do what you
want them to do is a task done through the Robolab program
on the computer. Create fast-moving cars or walking robots
with this kit!
LEGO robot
attachments:
Sensors can be attached
to the robots to also make it do different things. Light
sensors can be programmed to make the robot avoid dark
places. Rotational sensors can be programmed to move specific
pieces a certain degree. Touch sensors can be programmed
to make robots turn around when they touch certain objects.
Robolab
Software:
Robolab is used to program
the robots. The software lets you program the robot with
simple steps using pictures (icons) and lines (wires).
This lets you controll different parts of the robot. You
can also make it correspond with any attachments it has
on to make it do more than before. It is interesting to
make the robot interact with its environment. For example,
you can attach a touch sensor and program the robot to
move in a different direction when the sensor is touched.
