Lego Space Challenge

Mr. Merrill will assign you to do one of the Space Challenges below:

• Activate Communications

• Assemble Your Crew

• Free the MSL Robot

• Launch the Satellite in Orbit

• Return the Rock Samples

• Secure the Power Supply

• Initiate Launch

You will need to do the following to successfully pass each challenge:

1. Modify and program Riley Robot to accomplish its mission. You can modify your robot as you see fit. You may need to do some research on constructing attachments. You are allowed to access the internet in class for your research. You must use the gyro and at least one other sensor for all challenges!

2. Show Mr. Merrill that you have successfully fulfilled the mission requirements.

3. In the content editor I would like you to describe the challenge and your design, then discuss some of the failures and successes while working on the mission. Ask Mr. Merrill to take a photo of your robot and paste it in the content editor.
