Roving the Line with the PASCObot
In this investigation students experiment with the PASCObot Line Follower to determine what color tape will work the best. They experiment to find the...
Roving on Hills with the PASCObot
In this investigation students experiment with the PASCObot to find out how it responds to climbing a hill. They experiment with the accelerometer to learn...
Roving with Sight with the PASCObot
In this investigation students experiment with the PASCObot Range Finder to learn how to use it to detect obstacles. They program it to detect obstacles...
Roving with Touch with the PASCObot
In this investigation students program the PASCObot to move at a specified speed. They program it to detect obstacles using the built-in accelerometer...
Roving with the PASCObot
In this investigation students program the PASCObot to move specified distances and turn right or left. They learn how to import functions from the code...
Static Equilibrium
There are two requirements for an object to be in static equilibrium: The sum of the torques is zero and the sum of the forces is zero. An object is hung...
