Sphero Investigations 3-9-15

Lesson 1: Speed, Time and Distance

The activities we learned while programming sphero is we learned how to change the speed and how to stop the Sphero. We learned how to keep the Sphero going while setting the time. We learned how to roll the sphero which made it roll at a given speed and heading. We learned how to stop the Sphero which made it stop rolling immediately. With these commands we were able to roll and stop the Sphero at given times.

Lessson 2: 2D Geometry

The activities we learned while programming Sphero in Lesson 2 are how to make different colors and shapes. We also learned how to find different angles to create the shapes. In example, 0 degrees, 120 degrees, and 240 degrees makes a triangle.We already learned the commands roll and stop, the new commands we learned are the RGB which changes the color of the Sphero and we learned how to delay the color on the Sphero which sets the amount of time the ball waits to execute the next command. With these commands we were able to change the color of the Sphero and make shapes by delaying the Sphero to turn a different direction.
