My robotics work this term

 This term, I have achived a lot. In robotics. Mostly. I have made many high-ish quality computer programs that have impressed even my self. I started about 5, but only finished 3 of them so . Still, it's worth a look.

1. Prime number finder

I made this in scratch. It is simple on the outside, but uncomfrtably complicated, even for myself. You simply enter 2 positive integers, one big, one small, e.g 5 and 10. It will then proceed to find all prime numbers between the two said numbers, using an anylisis algoritom that used to involve lists, but now doesn't because that was too much, even for me.

2. Micro:bit robot

I made 3 versions of this: 

The line following one. It could follow a line on a large sheet of paper. Awesome.

The sentient one. It won't become evil and take over the world just yet. All it can do is avoid walls.

The remote controlled one. This one won me a chocolate bar and my class a shared lunch, as I entered it into a robotics race and won! Fantastic.

3. Tiddlescoin

I'm quite proud of this one, as it is the most advanced. It is a cryptocurrency app, that allows users to convert their money into an online currency, send it around, and cash it back in for money. It's also good in the way that it's being used for my entrepenur project in Social studies, as I can make money from it if I get enough users.
