First we had to design the bot we were going to use for battling. We got to use 2 pieces of plain card, Felts to make it look pretty, tape ,scissors straws, and Plastic cups. To make it we had to cut a hole in the paper and slide the cup through and tape it.
When I used the battle bots / spheros I learnt that team work was essential and that you had to be very focused. One big thing we had to do ll the time was make sure the little light on the side of the sphero was always facing us because that made the aim was good.
When we did the test with the battle bots we decided that the design was really good with a wide base because it made sure the sphero was staying in the battle bot and it wouldn't run away and that it was very stable. The only design we changed was the colouring because we really wanted to get a place in the best dressed battle bot. When had finished colouring the battle bot we chose to call it the dancing Taniwha because it had a tutu.around the base.
I thought that the design really worked well and that our team work was really great because we had a great plan that if Meg coloured in the battle bot and I did the making that it would be faster and we have more time to get used to driving the battle bot around.
Next time I think that we could decide who was the best drive out of me and Meg and that would be the main driver. I also think that having more time to do the design would be good so we could have neater colouring and more precise designs.
Meg and me did well as being buddies because we had the same Ideas about how to make the battle bots a we did not argue about who was doing what. I think choosing Meg as a buddy was good because we worked really well together.We did pretty well with driving the battle bots and we popped 7 balloons that were on the bottom of the battle bots, To pop the balloons we had to aim that pin on our bot in the direction of the balloon.The rise values (Resilience, Integrity, Success and Empathy) we used were Resilience because we kept on trying when things weren't going our way and success for when we successfully popped the balloons.

Hi Isla. The Battle Bot competition looked really fun! It was a great video and it was good to include it in your blog so we could see what happened. We liked the competition to remember how many balloons were popped. It might be good if you read through again to do a final check for errors in your writing. How long did it take for you to build your Battle Bot? And who won??
