Spore

Hi all – as promised, here is where you can download the Spore Trial.

You will need a new Apple or PC computer for it to work properly – and you might need your parent’s help to install it.

Sketch Up

Hi guys, sorry about the problems with sketch up on the laptops – we’ll try again next time with the new version.

If you want to work on the robot challenge at home, you can download Sketchup here:

http://sketchup.google.com/download/gsu.html

It’s free and works on Mac and Windows computers. You will probably need your Mum or Dad to help you put it on your computer though!

Remember:

– Your creation needs to be between the green and the red lines

If you want help on how to use sketchup, there are heaps of videos here:

Hi Glen                                                                                                                                                 I found that the robot could carry a GPS ,a camera and all that kind of equipment .It goes into the enemies base and it sends back info that the soldiers need .Heavy robots can even carry the soldiers backpacks .It could clear a mine field for the troops so if the robot does blow up it is better than a person blowing up isn’t it !

I am looking for original and well thought out answers – not just silly guesses!
