How to run it
- Clearly designate a large, open (empty) space in which your group will soon interact.
- Form into small groups of two people (pairs.)
- For each pair, nominate the tallest person as the robot, and their partner will be the controller.
- The task of the controller is to guide the robot safely around the designated area by using one of four distinct taps on the back or shoulder of the robot:
- - One tap between shoulder blades = walk forward;
- - One tap on the left shoulder = turn 90 degrees to left;
- - One tap on right shoulder = turn 90 degrees to right; and
- - Two quick taps between the shoulder blades = stop walking.
