Predicting

  • What have you learned about driving the Hero Robot to move objects on the field that might be useful in future competitions?
  • If your team had another match in this competition, what would you try to do differently? Why? 
  • What is something that you think you could add or change about your robot to make it better able to tilt the solar panel, lift the Rocket Ship or remove the debris from the Landing Site? Why?

Collaborating

  • What is one thing that you did that made you a good teammate in the competition? What is one thing your teammate did that was helpful to you in the competition? 
  • How did you and your team decide on a scoring strategy for your matches? What did you do to help your team come to an agreement or compromise?
