During Weeks 8 to 10, students will be given a group project to complete for their second assessment task.

This will be available via SEQTA.

In class today, students will be reviewing their robots from Task 2

Activities:

Review Task 2 Robot

Create presentation based on the components used, design and functionality of your robot. This is to be completed individually as a reflection activity. 

Rescue Mission: Robotics to the Rescue!

Background:

Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, and wildfires can cause serious problems for communities around the world. During these emergencies, people and animals might be trapped, roads could be blocked, or supplies might need to be delivered where vehicles and humans can’t reach easily or safely.

Your Mission:

You are part of an emergency response robotics team. Your team has been tasked with designing and building a LEGO EV3 robot that can help solve a real-world problem caused by a natural disaster or another emergency situation.

Task:

Choose a specific real-world emergency situation (e.g., flood, fire, earthquake, mining accident, or pandemic). Then, design and program an EV3 robot that could assist in that scenario. Your robot might:

Navigate through debris or obstacles

Detect or move objects (like “rescue survivors” or clear rubble)

Deliver “emergency supplies”

Monitor dangerous conditions (e.g., detect heat, gas, or water)

Requirements:

Design a robot using EV3 that performs at least one helpful task in that scenario.

Build and program your robot using EV3 software.

Test and refine your robot to improve its performance.

Present your solution to the class, explaining:

The real-world problem you chose

How your robot works and what it doesHow it could help in an actual emergency

Learning Objectives

• Students will apply their understanding of block-based programming to create a sequence of instructions that enables an EV3 robot to complete a series of challenges autonomously. 

Resources

Objective:
Use the Tow Truck robot in the EV3 simulator to complete the Sumo Challenges map.

Instructions:

1. Access the simulator:
   Click here to open the simulator
   
   

2. Select your robot and map:
   Choose the Tow Truck robot.
   Load the Sumo Challenges map.
   
   

3. Challenge:
   Program your robot to push all the opponents out of the arena without falling off the arena yourself.
