Divide and Conquer - Bomb disposal robot requirements and practical

Here is the link to a drawing I have started for you breaking down the bomb disposal robot into it's component parts - the parts it needs to do its job.

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1o2unvg4UKA-TKXUkE3NftQR2kbcyxSabmR8UaYy3PFs/edit?usp=sharing

You need to open up the drawing and go to File - Make a copy.  This copy is the one you now work on!!!!!. Close the original one so you don't get confused and write on the wrong one!

You need to fill in the empty text boxes with the parts that the robot needs and add in extra boxes below showing what it needs to do with those parts.

When you've finished, share the drawing (anyone with the link), save and copy/paste the blue link address on to a new Blog Post called Bomb Disposal Robot parts. Remember to highlight the link text and click on the blue Link button

Save this post - DO NOT PUBLISH YET!!!!!

After you have had a go at making your own bomb disposal robot with the kit, you need to write up a description of how this went on your Blog post - the successes (what did you make it do - what worked!), the failures (what didn't work), how you solved any problems, etc.  The more detail the better!

When you have finished writing up how building your kit robot went, you can then PUBLISH!!

Sub routines lesson

For this lesson, you need to do the following things on your Post:

1.  Give your new post the same title as this one

2.  Explain what a sub-routine is and why it is useful (think of at least 2 ways in which it is useful).

3.  Explain how using sub-routines in a program for a computer to sing 'Old MacDonald had a farm' is useful and how it shortens the program.  

4.  What parts of the song did you put into sub-routines?  

5.  How many sub-routines and process boxes did you end up with in your final program?

When you've done that, click Publish!     :-)
