Bumper Switch
Bumper Switch
The Bumper is located on the back of the robot, and it does exactly what the name implies. When the robot bumps into something it will provide an input to the robot.
Understanding "DURATION" the term duration is used in robot coding used to tell the robot how long to do something.
These are three examples of code blocks that tell the robot how long to do something.
The first is an amount of time. (wait 1 seconds)
The second uses a sensor input like we saw with the TouchLED code. (wait until ______ )
The last one gives the duration in the block, this block tells the robot to move 200 mm. 200 mm is the duration. ( drive forward for 200 mm)
Using duration for moving the robot.
The first block has the duration in the block and does not need an additional block to provide a duration.
The second block only works if additional blocks are added.
LEARNING ACTIVITY
