go?

Move forward two grades. How far does the robot
go?
1 mm
Move forward two seconds. How far does the robot
go?
Move forward 360°. How far does the robot go?
Does the robot a 360° movement (whole
circumference?
17,5 cm
Draw the program that you would use so that the
robot does a circumference.
Open
Draw the program that you would use so that the
robot moves 500 mm forward, turn around 180° and
drive to where you started?
Open
Time to create a program with Riley Rover and show
it later on to your class mates. You can also build
some more parts. Finally evaluate your team work
and say why.
Challenge
Try to do the last task in that waythat the robot is as fast
as possible.

NAME: German Team
GRADE: Year 5
DIFFICULTY FROM 1 TO 10: 3
Scenario. Working with the Riley Rover which has been already built. Using the loop block to
drive creating shapes. Geometry, angles.
Move forward and make an square angle. How
many degrees is this angle?
90°
If repeated this command four times, which shape
will the robot drive?
A square
Which block did you use to repeat a command? Loop
How many degrees we will have if we multiply 4
times 90°?
360°
How many degrees has got a triangle? 180°
Draw the program that you would use so that the
robot moves creating a triangle using the loop block
Open
Time to create a program with Riley Rover and the
loop block. Show it later to your class mates. You

Activity 3
NAME: German Team
GRADE: Year 5
DIFFICULTY FROM 1 TO 10: 3
Scenario. Working with the Riley Rover which has been already built adding the ultrasonic
sensor. Using block loop to keep on driving without crashing. Distances, comparing.
Which symbols do you use to compare distances? < > =
Which unit uses the robot to compare? cm
How many cm. would you type to make the robot
stop at 1 meter.
100 cm
Try out and draw the program that you have used.
Which block will you use so that the robot does not
crash ever?
Loop
Which symbol should you have in that block so it
does not crash.
Infinite
Try out the program and say if the robot finally
crashes. Why?
Finally evaluate your team work and say why.
Yes,because the sensordoesnot
coverthe whole surface
Challenge
Try to get the robotas close as possible tothe wall
withoutcrashing.

Activity 4
NAME: German Team
GRADE: Year 5
DIFFICULTY FROM 1 TO 10: 4
Scenario. Working with the Riley Rover which has been already built adding the colour
sensor. Using block loop to keep on looking for colours. What if block.
How far is the colour sensor from the floor? 0,5 cm
Would it work if it is further away? No
Use the colour sensor and the loop block to keep on
looking for a given colour around the room.
1 square meter competition
3 pieces of a given colour in 1 square meter. How
long does it take to your robot to find the three of
them?
What if block. Choose what your robot does in both
Cases.
Case 1.
Case 2.
Which symbol do we have for “no colour”?
Use the symbol so that the robot does no fall down
from a table. Try out the program and say if the
robot finally falls down. Why?
Finally evaluate your team work and say why.
Yes,it fallsdownbecause there are
some angleswhichcannot be
covered.
Challenge
Try to have your robotsayingthe colourthat it discovers

DIFFICULTY FROM 1 TO 10: 5
Scenario. Working with the Riley Rover which has been already built adding the gyro sensor.
What two options offers the wait block with the gyro
sensor?
Compare /Change
Which one would you use to determine if the robot is
on a sloped surface?
Change
Set the robot on a sloped surface and use a program
to check the sensor accuracy. Is it very accurate?
No
Build a slope with an angle of 10 degrees. If the
robots moves from the slope to a flat surface. The
angle decrease / increase.
Decrease.
Try out different programs to see until what degrees
the robot has power to go uphill.
Open
Look for possibilities to use the gyro sensor and
show to your classmates.
