DTE Assessment Reflection

In DTE, My group and I have been assigned to do a Sphero project. This involves coding, construction, and participation. 

We were thinking of building the Mad Max vehicle but then we decided to build a colosseum. After we made our plan we needed some parts for our project,. Then I started to look for some printout paper on google. I had found some of the parts of the took a millennium and it basically took li colosseum on google, but then we needed Mr Carter to print them out. As soon as Mr Carter printed them out we started cutting the parts of the paper we needed, but we had a few human errors during some periods. It has taken quite some time since cutting spike strips precise 7 - 8 minutes just to cut 1 spikey strip. So... this took a really long time and it was basically just us cutting paper for like periods, plus we didn't even know if we were going to finish on time. I could say this is a catastrophe but we tweaked with the plan, this time we changed the plan and now it's way different this time we thought of cardboard in our idea, and we could basically shape it to what we want, so that's what we went with. To keep in mind we were still using some of the paper for the decoration so we could make the cardboard look more authentic, but the coding was still a problem. We didn't really know what to do besides the move feature so we started practising with some features with the sphero app. 

Personal Reflection:

Overall this has been a fun learning experience coding and constructing and I would probably do this again because it was quite interesting to learn. It was kinda hard coding and we didn't really know what to do so we basically just made them clang into each other by just making the Spheros move into each other with these codes. Although the cutting was the worst part, those spikes had my butt clenched cause you had to be so precise. 

What our plan was gonna look like originally but much bigger:
