  1. MU LEGO Robotics Marshall University Fall 2002 Clinton Burch Come and tour LEGO’s technology side of education! TM

  2. Week One Aug. 26, 2002 Learning the new class rules! Ms. Hamilton explains NOT to break anything and always work on a LEGO Lid!! First 8 weeks LEGO creator: Clinton Burch

  3. Week One Aug. 26, 2002 Built our first project: Piano We chose to have it play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star A close up shot of the Piano. In the background, you can see our first program. Simple but effective!

  4. Week Two Sept. 9, 2002 Creating our first robot. Actually, it’s a Dune Buggy! It will only be able to move forward & backward. However, we have some tricks in mind. Here is the basic design of the car, according to LEGO. But just wait for the modifications!!

  5. Week Two Sept. 9, 2002 Green Light Touch Sensor Program Here is the car with a green backup light & a touch sensor. Very good view of the car, with its basic program in the background.

  6. Week Two Sept. 9, 2002 Basic car program. The program is transferred from the computer to the RCX on the car. The program was a huge success!! Our car really works!

  7. Week Three Sept. 16, 2002 Egyptian Driver Headlights The first few modifications begin today. We added headlights and an Egyptian driver. Now it’s time to add more power! We opt to add bigger wheels for the full effect!

  8. Week Three Sept. 16, 2002 The tires add a new look to our car, as do the headlights and Egyptian Driver! We even ensured the driver could see out the front of the car!

  9. Week Three Sept. 16, 2002 Our Car Now it’s time to see if we are really good programmers or just a bunch of fakes! The robots will have to send messages to one another without any human assistance. The four robots are ready to transfer programs. Hope our car doesn’t mess up the group!

  10. Week Three Sept. 16, 2002 The transferring from RCX to RCX begins and looks to be working well. It’s a success!! We may actually know what we’re doing. The group couldn’t be more pleased with the result.

  11. Week Four Sept. 23, 2002 It’s now time to build without using instructions. The building process will be recorded using LEGO CAD. Let the fun begin!

  12. Week Four Sept. 23, 2002 This is a side and top view of my latest creation, a land rover car. In the background, you can see the LEGO program for creating designs. The program may look easy, but is very touchy!

  13. Week Four Sept. 23, 2002 My final product. It turned out better than expected. The program was a lot of fun to use, but you just can’t rush it.

  14. Week Four Sept. 23, 2002 Looking at the LEGO City using Red Rover Program. The city is an interactive site. It is housed at the Nick J. Rahall, II Appalachian Transportation Institute. Creating my log-in for SENSORS CITY.

  15. Week Five Sept. 30, 2002 Our LEGO class decides to break into the City National Bank, and take a closer look at the LEGO City. Field Trip!! Using the Internet, we were able to program the city pieces to move.

  16. Week Five Sept. 30, 2002 We survey the area before beginning the mission impossible theme song. We’re in! We begin our tour by looking at the layout of the city.

  17. Week Five Sept. 30, 2002 Looking, at the main computer. This is the heart of the LEGO City. Only looking, no touching! We watch as programs are sent to the city.

  18. Week Six Oct. 7, 2002 It’s time to decide on a robot to build for the Challenge Project. We have chosen a car type robot. It will not only go forward & backward, but also be able to turn.

  19. Week Six Oct. 7, 2002 The prototype. We still have some turning issues to work out. Our most advanced gear system to date. Took awhile to figure this one out.

  20. Week Seven Oct. 14, 2002 These are my two major creations during my 8 weeks in the MU LEGO class. Both have a single motor operation, but are able to complete different missions.

  21. Week Seven Oct. 14, 2002 We begin lining up the robots according to the small game board. Our car is the first robot to be placed for the mission. Designing the Final Project Board. The board will allow the robots to run more easily.

  22. Week Seven Oct. 14, 2002 Our final mission will have to mimic this game board.

  23. Week Seven Oct. 14, 2002 Our robots. The game board is almost set up. Waiting for the last robot.

  24. Week Seven Oct. 14, 2002 The LEGO Team! These are the creations we decided to use for the final mission.

  25. Week Seven Oct. 14, 2002 We are set for the final mission. Final preparations are being made. My final robots! They actually survived the 8 weeks!
