Your Chariot

Here is a clip of chariot racing from what was the most expensive film ever made, famous for all the money they spent on sets and animals, and making it in colour! Ben-Hur



When done your assignments that we talked about yesterday, we will go onto making a chariot.

Design your chariot. It must be built for speed AND collisions. The teacher has some limited supplies, so bring supplies from home, especially a large plastic cup. Make sure to make the chariot look awesome. If you don't have supplies, then we go back to answering questions.

Make a 30 second to 1 minute video highlighting the features of your chariot and why it so awesome. An iMovie trailer might be good for that. Here are some examples from last year.

Race 1 A Warm-Up
Program you chariot to go around a 10ft bench. This is timed and a chance for your 4 horses (sphero) to limber up.

Race 2 Stuff Just Got Real
A mass start. Horses (spheros) running loose will be removed from the track. First one to finish (survive) 10 laps wins.

Last Year's race below.




Here is a code from the program Tickle that Traci-Lynn has provided.
