Discussion Prompts

Observing

• How did you use the [If then] blocks to have the Robot Arm make decisions?
• Why do we need the [Forever] block in these projects?
• Can you explain in your own words, how the Robot Arm used conditions and conditional statements to sort the disks?
• What can you look for in the code to predict what condition the Robot Arm will sort by and how it will move objects?

Predicting

• What other objects do you think the Robot Arm could sort? How would you code that?
• What other things can a robot do when it can be coded to make a decision? What real-world robots can you think of that make decisions?
• How are human decision making and robotic decision making similar or different? What are some advantages and disadvantages of each?

Collaborating

• How did all of the members of your group participate in the coding process during this Lab? What worked well in your group? What would you change next time?
• If someone in your group was struggling to understand the concept of a conditional statement, how would you explain it to them?
• Are there any decision making patterns that your group seems to follow in these Labs? Are those patterns effective? How could you improve upon them?
