FIRST LEGO LEAGUE PHOTOS
eTrain 2008
Here are some photos from the 2008 eTrain extraviganza at Collingwood Childrens Farm. I mentored a group of 10 boys working on the Climate Connections robotics missions
eTrain is a Melbourne Grammar School initiative that brings students from Melbourne Grammar and surrounding schools together for two days of immersion into ICT based activities
The boys pictured attempted several of the challenges and created some excelent engineering attachments to complement their programming
The robot has just left base carying the Polar Bear
This robot is lined up in base and is about to moe forward to scoop the Carbon into the carbon dump. The strange looking red object is a smbolic storm
At left: Close-up of the carbon attachment with bear attachment
A clever solution to getting all the levees ( the brown beams) to the flood location at once
Above :The boys contemplate the missions
Scissor action "claw" attachment used to pick-up the Ice Buoy it the most forward, with a carbon seeking bay
Following- illustrates another way of mounting the NXT and additional 3rd motor with a claw
