The exciting part: Knock it Off!

.........................Watch this example.

.........................Go to the boards with the tape strips and the astronaut duck.

....Your task is to:

• start the robot on one line
• program the robot to drive forward
• knock the toy off the table and stop, without falling off the edge.
• You may work with a partner.

......................The idea here is to get it right the first time using Math.

.............................................Remember that you know two facts:
.............................................(a)The distance your robot has to travel
.............................................(b)The size of your wheel
.............................................Use these facts to calculate the number of rotations!

.............................................You get ONLY ONE CHANCE to try this - no practice!
