Page 3: Previous Experiences
Previous Experiences Prior to using InO-Bot, children should have some experience of using Scratch and ideally experience of other robots such as Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot. Progression The activities outlined below are in a suggested order of progression. There is no specific amount of time to be spent on each as this will vary from one situation to another. -
Page 4: Key Focus 1 - Getting Started With Ino-Bot
Key Focus 1 – Getting started with InO-Bot InO-Bot is full of inputs and outputs but it is best to start as simply as possible. Begin with outputs and get children to explore what can be done with the 8 RGB LED lights on top. -
Page 5: Key Focus 2 - Getting Into Shape
Extension Activity To extend this activity, ask children to create a second set of lights in a counter sequence. These could be lights on cross-roads or where a road narrows to one lane with lights at either end. This can be achieved using the two sides of InO-Bot, i.e. LEDs 1, 2 and 3 against 8, 7 and 6. -
Page 6: Key Focus 3 - Name That Tune
Key Focus 3 – Name that tune InO-Bot has 29 built-in sounds. Full details of these are listed in the user guide. Begin by creating a simple loop to enable stepping through the sounds. The example (right) makes use of a variable. -
Page 7: Key Focus 4 - Automatic Headlights
This is an example of using a variable to set the pauses throughout the tune. One change at the top of the program will change the pauses throughout. Note: where a longer pause is needed the tempo variable is doubled (* 2). It could also be shortened by halving it (/ 2). -
Page 8: Key Focus 5 - Avoid Obstacles
Key Focus 5 – Avoid obstacles On the front of InO-Bot there is an ultrasonic range finder. This is a sensor that reports values from 0 to 255. The values are reported in centimetres and indicate how far an object is from the front of the sensor. InO-Bot can be programmed to move around and when the range finder reports an obstacle at a given distance in front it can back up and turn. -
Page 9: Key Focus 6 - Responding To Sound
Key Focus 6 – Responding to sound Just behind the pen tube is a sound sensor (a microphone reporting values 0 - 100). InO-Bot can be programmed to respond to sound. It might move, stop moving or light up different lights. -
