All about Jester!!
So on Tuesday, once again in small groups, we had to come up with a new chess piece with all of its characteristics and protocols etc. Ours was the Jester and his movements were basically those of a bishop and knight combined. Here are his rules:
- Move a maximum of two units diagonally in a normal movement
- To attack, an extra one unit is added to the ordinary movement (in the same turn). It still has to be diagonal but can go in any direction.
- Can only attack(thereby adding the extra unit) if there is another piece in that space.
- Cannot jump pieces in the first two diagonal units
Every group then had to programme their robot to follow the specific directions of their new chess piece ready for Wednesday's competition(see below).
Wednesday's competition:
Each robot was put into a marked square(with a 15 second delay) and had the simple rule of trying to get the furthest away from the square. People seemed to have fun with this(everyone is competitive, that's ju
st a fact), proven in videos that I can't upload because they're either too big or they just take forever. T
herefore I'll just make do with some photos.
