There are a minimum of two people required for this activity, but it can be done in larger groups as well.
Each competitor will design their own racetrack with the same specifics listed below.
Your racetrack must be exactly one meter in length.
Your racetrack must fit onto one 8.5 X 11 piece of paper.
Your racetrack must have a minimum of 5 unique codes. Unique means different, so you can't just use Nitro Boost over and over!
Your racetrack can have no more than 7 total codes.
Measure and cut exactly one meter of string. This allows you to measure the total distance of your track by laying down the string as you draw.
Take a blank sheet of white paper and draw your racetrack USING THE PENCIL OR PEN. Measure as you go using your string to ensure that it is the right length. Be sure to follow the rules for how the Ozobot can move linked here.
Use the Color Codes pdf to find 5 unique codes that will be added to your racetrack to change speed, direction, or add "cool moves." Plan where you will add them by coloring in the code in the correct order on your pencil/pen version.
Now that you have your plan, trace over your pencil/pen version using the black marker. Don't forget to stop your black line each time you reach a color code. Continue with the black marker until your entire racetrack is covered in marker. Hint: go back and make sure the line thickness is consistent throughout the entire path.
Make sure you end your code with a Win/Exit code.
Place your Ozobot Evo at the beginning of your racetrack and press his Power button. Time him as he runs your track.
Time Evo as he runs the track(s) of your competitor(s).
Extension: Reverse it! Can you design the slowest track?
Follow the exact same rules to design the slowest track. Then make your competitor run Evo on your track.
