BP Lego Robolab

The Introduction

the presentation

here we are ready to go

Bo'ness Academy hosted the launch of BP's Lego Robolab project which was attended by teachers from the Academy, feeder primaries and officials from BP. Robolab Lego uses a programmable block called an RCX block which receives commands from the computer via an infra red link. Lego is used to create various objects such as cars, robots, cranes and trucks and the RCX block is then used to power it. Web cameras, light sensors and music can also be added to it to enhance it's capabilities.

BP have purchased 15 of these kits for use in the Academy or feeder primaries.
