Tobbie's Maze
Grade 7
Presentation
Hypothesis
If tobbie the robot can pass a maze then we can tell if the intell on the packaging is correct becuase some packaing will scam or lie about thier information.
Research
We reserached how wide tobbie is for the mazes as well as we had started to disuss the outline of the mazes and how hard each level will be. We also have decided to decline a time object to it becuase the packaging had not said to include time to it, as well as a bonus maze wich we did not want as we already have 3 mazes.
Variables
our manipliated varible is the rout tobbie took
Our controlled vairble is is tobbie becuase he did not change
our responding varible is the time
Procedure
Tobbie will enter the maze as we will time him for fun we will be taking down observations to see if he improves he could fail at any time if so then we will mark down the time and observations then we will take him out of the maze then move him to the next level of maze.
Observations
when met with a wall he usualy turned right
stays to sides of the walls
circled back multiple times
leggs sometimes got stuck
when spaces were narrow he still went in
he tried to go through enterance
did not go in one compartment
final strech he slowed down
Analysis
Tobbie was okay with the maze he was able to pass threw the maze just over 2 minutes however he did have some set backs like he kept trying to go out the exit but altogather he did do good.
Conclusion
Tobbie was sussecfully able to pass threw the maze although he did have some set backs. Some of his set backs loop back around near the entrance as his legs did get stuck on some turns but he was able to complete the maze in just over 2 minutes. Our hypothesis was right that the packaging was correct however this does not mean that all pacakging is correct.
Application
our application is that not all pakaging is faulse. it could also be used to show the growth of technolagies over the years.
Sources Of Error
some of are sources of error was that tobbie did get stuck on some turns as well as we have decided to only do one maze due to the fact that it took us 2 hours to make one so we have decided to only stick to one maze wich made us have to go back and change our hypothesis and varibles.
