Join in with Robocode
Our interactive activity, designed for The Big Bang Fair, offers students an exciting, hands-on experience with robotics and coding. Play a unique game that involves a rotating robot detector and a line tracer robot. The centerpiece of the activity is a rotating robot detector which prompts the line tracer robot to buzz when detected.
The students' task is to design a track and modify the code on a laptop to manoeuvre the line tracer robot, avoiding the central robot detector. This involves practical use of tape and safety scissors to build the track, under careful guidance. Each session of this activity is designed for a group of four students and should take a maximum of 10 minutes.
