Main Activities:
Part 1: Building the device
Part 1: Building the device
a) Build your Device
Build a basic rover, VERY similar to the Maze II robot.
Make sure the wheels are under the brain brick
Use a marble for stabilization
Insert a color sensor at the front of the device, VERY close to the floor.
Insert a gyro sensor onto the robot
Make sure the device is robust
b) Put 3 photos of your device on your site
Make sure each photo is from different angles
Make sure the images are a suitable size
Part 2: Build your line
Part 2: Build your line
Your line must be at least 2 meters long, and change directions multiple times.
Part 3: Program your device
Part 3: Program your device
a) Program the device
Make sure the programming is efficient
The device must be programmed to follow the line using the light intensity
The device must start facing AWAY from the line. You need to program the device to sense when it has spun 180 degrees (using the gyro), and then start following the line.
