One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. Children investigate the movement of vehicles, from those they may have made, to commercial toys; from push along toys to remote controlled toys and a computer-controlled floor robot. The control of the floor robot will be the context for a storytelling activity.

A floor robot becomes a school bus and is sent along a route by the children. Working in teams, they build a story around the bus journey and record their instructions to the robot on program sheets.
