Students investigate Cubelets with two SENSE Cubelets.
Today students will investigate what happens when they use more than one SENSE Cubelet in their robot construction. There are two important lessons to learn about robot constructions that use multiple SENSE Cubelets. First, students will discover ACT Cubelets average the values they receive from multiple SENSE Cubelets - and the further away a SENSE Cubelet is from an ACT Cubelet, the lower the signal it sends. We call this a “Weighted Average”. Second, students will discover that SENSE Cubelets do not send information through them. Therefore, if two SENSE Cubelets are right next to each other, it is as if there is a blocker between them - ACT Cubelets on either side will not receive an average value.
