Welcome to the Friday Lego Club
Welcome to Our Home:
Tonight… Writing Clear Documentation…
…it’s hard work.
Instructions are Hard
Are You Sure It’s Really Clear
Signs I love… I feel a lot more like I do now than I did when I first
got here Employees Must Wash Hands Speed Enforced from Air Remove pizza from box, place in oven. Slow Children at Play
We have no trouble understanding these …
Precision
But Machines Need More Specific Instructions
Tires must be round, not kind of round.
Switches should work all the time.
Windows shouldn’t break.
Welds must be perfect. Every time.
How does all this work? Clear Instructions
For Example . . .
How Hard is This?
What Kind of Talk is That?
Do you speak C, Java, PLC, Basic, HTML, XML?
Celse if (PWM_in5 != 0x7f)
{slide = 0;}else{slide = 127;} pwm01 = slide;PWM_in2 = (255 - PWM_in2);PWM_in3 = (255 - PWM_in3);
pwm01 = Limit_Mix(2000 + PWM_in2 + slide - 127);pwm02 = Limit_Mix(2000 + PWM_in2 - slide + 127);pwm03 = Limit_Mix(2000 - PWM_in3 + slide + 127);pwm04 = Limit_Mix(2000 - PWM_in3 - slide + 383);
pwm05 = PWM_in11; //Wheels on frountpwm06 = 255 - PWM_in9; //bar lifting arm (Rreversed)pwm07 = PWM_in8; //ball lifting arm

Create an Invention and Document It
First: You’ll get two bags of identical products
Try It
Create an Invention and Document It
Next: You’ll get a set of blank instruction sheets
Try It
Your Tools…
Your Brain!
A Pencil…
Creativity….
Try It
Create an Invention and Document It
Next: Name Your Invention (or when you’re done)
Try It
Create an Invention and Document It
Next: Build your project and write out the steps. Make drawings where needed.
Put a red brick on a blue brick and turn it over…
Try It
Build for 30-40 minutes.After you’ve built your machine we will take your model and hide it.
You will then trade with another group.
That group will then try to build your model from your instructions.
We will then unveil the original models and compare them to what you’ve built.
