Today we did programing with python. Unlike scratch, this uses typing the code not dragging blocks. Python is also different form scratch because it has different things or code that scratch does not have. To see more about Python code, go here.

Today we measured the strength of our robot's arm. First, we hung a spring scale that would find and record the force of the pull from the arm. Then we measured the force when the load was placed further away from the fulcrum. We found that the further away the load was from the fulcrum, the less the force of the pull on the spring scale. Then we plotted the data on a graph. Toady we measured the effect of gear ratios on speed and torque. We had to reinstall the different gears and change the axles to make different gear ratios.
