The Yellow Group’s trip to the BMW Welt was a big success!

Date:
We attended a workshop in the Junior Campus at BMW called ‘Mission Ozobots.’ We learned that the factories at BMW use different robots to do different tasks that are either too dangerous for humans or for other reasons. We had a chance to go under the BMW Welt to see where they store the cars that people have purchased and are waiting to pick up from the BMW Welt. A robot moves the cars around down stairs to store them and then to bring them to the car elevator to be brought upstairs. After this we went up to the Junior Campus workshop and had a chance to program our own robots called Ozobots by drawing lines for it to follow a series of steps to get from one point to another. We also learned that the Ozobot can recognize different colors and would even change color if we used a different color marker. After this we took a walk around BMW Welt and had a chance to test out the motorcycles and see the different BMW and Mini cars.
