You may space them out any way you like.

3. Create a draft in pencil first.

Racing for the Library Cup

Once your track is finished, challenge a classmate - or classmates - to a race. Whoever's robot finishes first is the winner. Then, challenge a new classmate.

What is Kind of Robot is it?

Ozobot is a line following robot - a type of robot called an "automated guided vehicle". They can be programmed (given directions) using either markers or using the iPad. Here are some other AVG's:

Make Sure Calibrate!

Step 1: Gently press the button on the side to turn on the Ozobot.

Step 2: Hold the button until the LED lights flash white.

Step 3: Place the Ozobot down in the middle of a solid black circle.

Step 4: If the Ozobot moves forward and turns green, then it is successfully calibrated. If it turns red, start over.

Using Markers and Ozocodes

1. Always use a wide line - use the whole edge of the chisel markers!

2. Don't press hard - these are special markers!

3. Ozocode colors should be 1/4 inch! This is what that looks like!
