databot™ 2.0 - Missions with LEGO® Robotics Bundle

Purchase this bundle and get databots (pick your variation) plus the 137 page, action-packed Missions with LEGO® Robotics (digital download).  The eight included Mission Guides provide you with everything needed to get started.  All missions include detailed, step-by-step support for integrating data collection and analysis into your current program. These mission builds and instructions are designed for the LEGO® Spike Prime educators kit #45678 but can easily be modified for earlier Mindstorms® kits.

Do You Love LEGO® Robotics? Add a Whole New Dimension with databot™!

This incredible bundle includes databot kits plus our Missions with LEGO® Robotics publication!  The included 130+ page Missions manual provides eight awesome, data-driven missions to challenge your students to solve problems using live sensor data from databot™! All missions include detailed step-by-step support for integrating data collection and analysis into your current LEGO® program.  The mission builds and instructions are designed for the LEGO® Spike Prime Educators kit #45678 (Not Included) but can be easily modified for earlier Mindstorms® kits.

Each mission is a career oriented scenario that poses a challenge to be overcome through the use of data.  For example, mission #3, Putter Perfection, shown here is a sports science and engineering challenge.  Your team has been hired by a professional golfer to help her improve her performance – her putting game is off!  Here is an excerpt from the Background information on the mission.

Your team has been hired as biomechanical engineers by a professional golfer experiencing a career slump – her putting game is off! You will help her by demonstrating how to deliver perfect putts to a target 6′ away. Do this by adjusting the force of impact from LEGO® motor speed and swing angle. Work as a team. The data scientist will evaluate each round of code and the coder will adjust the force accordingly until the putting is “perfection.” Two forces that affect a golf ball are gravity and friction. Putting combines mass (the club head) and acceleration (the swing) to deliver a force to the ball to overcome gravity and friction.
