Day 2 - Thursday

This morning we introduced ROBOLAB music, touch sensors, and light sensors. We programmed cars to stop exactly on "Platform 9 3/4," in three different ways: through timing, touch sensors, and light sensors. Next we reviewed gear trains, and then we spent the rest of the day building amusement park rides with gears. They turned out great! Adam and Noah built a roller coaster with a rack and pinion system; Peter, Maia, and Sam built a rotating swings ride; Jen and Kathleen created a swing-type ride with vertical motion. Nice work! At the end of the afternoon, we began working with Inventor programming...more of that to come tomorrow.
