Hello My Name Is...

Complete the Anytime robotics lab: Hello my name is...
Record your observations and answer the questions on the worksheet as you progress through the lab. At the end of the lab, choose an emotion to give your robot.

1. Write a short 2 to 5 block program that attempts to convey that emotion. You should make good use of sound, display, appearance and other robot behaviors to get your message across.
2. Ask three other students to observe your robot's "emotion"
3. Without telling them the emotion you intended, run the program for each person, and ask them what emotion the robot is trying to convey. Write down their responses and rate how close they are to the emotion you intended.
   

When you are finished with the lab:
