Week 10 - 5-4 Assignment 4/5 Boats & Robots



We built boats and some people built robots on the laptop, they were using pieces from the box, and then when they were done they programed it on the computer, we were also using tubes, and the hook things to make boats we were testing them in the sink to see if they would float, it doesn't matter if they did or didn't, but they had to record it on the piece of paper, and they would be able to race if they had the paper completed.
