Illustration to represent Penalty time project
Project 5

Penalty time

Join Ester and Daniel as they prepare for the football championship and create a penalty simulation system.

Computational thinking

Ester designed a prototype of an automatic penalty stopper that keeps track of the goals scored. Additionally, she created an animated simulation to demonstrate how it would work. To do this, she programmed a character to stop shots on goal.

Maker moment

Let's build a penalty stopper!

It’s time to create our own penalty stopper! To do this, we will use the joystick and the servo motor.

Components

These are the components that are used in the project, learn how they work.

Let's program!

Access the Robots platform to program your penalty stopper. In the first challenge we will program the movement angles of the servo motor, in the second challenge we will program the joystick to control the movement.
