My name is Carson, and I'm going into sixth grade. My name is Carolyn and I'm good in the circuit. We have this robot and we're trying to make it go this little square here.

So we programmed it on this iPad and then controlled the robot. It was hard though it took us like thirty it. So we figured out the turn and then got here, and then we decided we should make it turn around so we can make it on repeat, and you can just go around and around and around and around.
