Ballarat Grammar eLearning

 

Welcome to Our New Robotics Researchers!
Year9_robotics_term1_2012

As part of our Year 9 Electives Program, students once again have the opportunity to participate in our Robotics Research Project. 

Students use OpenSim to create a 3D object, then use Scratch 4 OpenSim to create the Linden Script for their programmable object.

In order to create our “inworld class photo” for this post, we learnt how to use the camera controls in the Imprudence 3D Viewer, then the screenshot feature.

Watch out for future posts about their finished products! 

You can also visit our Begonia Island Blog for further information about our Virtual Worlds Project.

Robotics by Shandyl

1. Outline what you were aiming to achieve ‘in world’ in terms of your robot. That is, give an outline of what you wanted to create and how you wanted it to operate.

I was trying to make a pool so it would follow me around but I couldn’t make the right script so I made a ball that comes when I call it.

2. Include a copy of the Linden Script in a separate notepad (text) document. Access this through Windows > All programs > Accessories > Notepad

// levelOut()
// remove the x and y rotation components, so that the object is
// level with respect to the ground
levelOut()
Makes it level to the ground so it will not go into the ground.

3. How could your robot be improved further? Provide an outline of at least one other thing that could be achieved in world.

Make my ball follow me around. Maybe make it look like there is water in the pool.

My Building by Nathan

I built a tower/building which will raise 20m or follow me when I tell it to. I have also put a tree and a smiley face which follows me.
