Einrichten:

Come up with a sweet Mother’s Day message.
You may want to decorate your robot messenger or even send a gift with the message. We decided to use the Building Block Extensions to make a LEGO® flower vase. You can also use the Tow Hook to pull a carriage with the gift inside.
Using the sound recording feature in Path or Go, record your message. You can record up to five short messages.
Deliver your message and enjoy the reaction!

Play Options

Go App

Suggested for Ages: 5+

In Go, you can record your messages before controlling Dash.
After recording your messages, you can control Dash directly to deliver the message.

Here’s a video that explains how to record your voice in the Go app so that Dash can play the recording.

Path App

Suggested for Ages: 5+

Draw a path from your location to the target’s location.
You may want to use Dash to measure out the route ahead of time. Remember, Dash is the same size as a block on Path.
After you draw the path, drag the sound icon to the place along the path where you want Dash to speak.
Tap the Record button and record your message.

Here’s an example that uses three messages:

Good morning, Mom! I have a message.
Happy Mother’s Day. I love you!
See you later!

Blockly App

Suggested for Ages: 8+

Use Blockly to plan and initiate a sequence of commands for Dash to navigate around the house to deliver your object and message to your mother.
Use the “My Sounds” block to record and play specific messages for your mother.
Can you complete the program in as few blocks as possible?
