Meet your elementary robotics teams.


Eisenhower will be competing in two separate competitions in a middle school league.  The team is hard at work practicing and preparing for "Game Day".

Event : Make Vincent van Gogh Proud

Students designed a "costume" to dress up their robot of choice.

The students wanted to 3D print something that would sit on top of the Sphero.  They first designed a prototype to make sure they had a solid design.  Then they tested for sizing.  Finally they printed the top head portion in yellow and the bottom cylinder portion in blue and then designed it to look like a minion.

Event : King of Coding Part 1

Students chose a Mindstorm build to create and program.  A video had to be created for "Game Day". 

Brett chose the Mindstorm design of a bass guitar.  He built and coded it to play different notes.  His challenge was to learn Smoke on the Water with the robotic guitar.

Event : King of Coding Part 2

Students chose a Mindstorm build to create and program.  A video had to be created for "Game Day". 

Holden chose the Mindstorm design of a copycat robotic hand.  He built and coded it to mimic his hand.  His challenge was to successfully throw a ball.

Event : Machine Learning (Mindstorm)

Students chose a Mindstorm build to create and program.  A video had to be created for "Game Day". 

Sometimes failure is the best way to learn a process.  Mazric and Myles took on the grueling task of building a block sorting AI bird.  The process turned into failure but they learned along the way.  Here's what they took away from it.

Mazric and Myles took their knowledge and what they'd learn to build a new Machine Learning Project.  Meet The Camera Car!  The boys coded it to recognized sound and voices to understand when to start and stop.  The more they worked with the bot, the better it learned their sounds and worked better with each action.

Vex VR Online Bot Coding

Students had to code a virtual robot on an online platform.

Mazric was challenged to code a robot through a virtual maze through the landing zones of A, B, C, then D in the fewest lines of code.
