Robot Technology

After we had designed our robots in our Inquiry books, we collected a mountain of boxes.

We carefully chose the right size and shape of boxes to match our design.

We had lots of tubes for arms and legs.

We use lots of tape and glue to put our robots together!

At last they were ready for painting.

We painted them grey all over.

We used a lot of paint because our robots were so big!

After we had painted them all over with grey, we used silver spray paint to make them  look shiny and more like metal.

Here they are all painted and drying in the sun!

Now for the electric circuit to make the light go. 

We have got very clever at learning to make a simple circuit. But for our robots we had to make a circuit with a switch! We need to be able to turn them off so the battery lasts longer.

We say a big thank you to Taylor's Mum who helped teach us about circuits and electricity.
