Learning Objectives:
Work on completion of A3


Today a strength has been making my robot work well enough to get around the track and spin around. Another strength has been thinking of questions for my hypothesis.

Today a weakness has been not having good obstacle avoidance, the robot could not make it around the box and then lost the line. I also haven't finished my survey.

Today I have learnt that I should spend more time on objectives I have not met rather than make the objectives I have met better. I have also learnt that a hypothesis is a statement and not a question.

Today has been good as I did not do to badly on the robot test and I have been able to do a lot of work in the maths lesson.

Due dates: A3T3 15/03/2018, A3T4/20.03/2018
