In the Classroom
In-game, remember that the Measurement Toolkit (see page 20), can be used to collect
actual values, since the distances derived from the map grid are approximations.
The blue gem is an important object in view, so it’s distance is displayed by default -
0.99 meters, or 99 centimeters. That’s very close to our 100 centimeter measurement!
Run the program you wrote to move the robot to the blue gem. Keep in mind that
the Robot Virtual Worlds are developed with a physics engine, and real world
factors such as robot drift will be present.
This sequence of can be used to solve for all movements in the Ruins of Atlantis.
For additional math practice, have the students solve the Ruins of Atlantis with
multiple robot models; each have different wheel diameters and robot sizes which
will change the values used in the proportional problems.
