Lesson 6 All Together Now, Let's Dance

Introduction

So the robot can move, it can play music, it can write, it can turn on lights, but can it dance? Can you create a dance move that the robot can do with you?
The purpose of this lesson is to use all of the programming skills learned to create a dance routine with movement, lights and sound.

We will also apply what we learned in the last lesson about creating program logic with If conditions and Boolean operations to control when the robot begins to dance.

Time to Complete

1 hour for Hands-on Activities
2 hours for Optional Exercises

What We Will Learn

By the time you complete this activity you should be able to:

Program the Scribbler robot to perform a dance with movement, lights, and sound.
Understand condition statements and use one to compare two values.
Understand Boolean logic and use it in a condition statement.
Use the button press to control when the robot starts.
Apply all the programming concepts learned so far to create a program.

What You Need

Scribbler Robot with battery charged
USB cable to connect robot to computer
Computer: PC or Mac to program the robot (with Internet connection)
BlocklyPropClient software installed on Computer

What to Do
