Lesson 1 assessed Wall-E challenge

The Challenge!

  Below is the shape of the course.  The challenge for your group is to program your Wall-E to knock down the tubes (each black dot is a tube).
In your group, you will need to work out the angles and distance between tubes.

First piece of assessed work - a flow chart drawn
Bronze - use distances between tubes, plus turning angles
Silver - use decision/selection: touch sensors and choices
Gold - use decision/selection, plus loops/repetition
Share correctly and paste on to a Blog post, titled 'Wall-E Challenge'.  This must be done and completed by the end of the lesson!
