🔴 Infrared Roaming Challenge

Warm-up:

1. What pins are input and which are output pins?

Pins 10 and 3 and input and 8 and 7 are output.

2. What problems have you encountered with the hardware?

No problems were encountered. we're that good.

3. Read the roaming code.  How well do you understand it? ✅

Process:

Alter the existing code to allow for a robot that can find its way from one side of the room to the other. Our goals are as follows:

• The robot detects IR interference.

• The robot avoids all obstacles in its way.

• The robot starts at the wall and makes it across the room to the opposite wall.

• The ending location is no more than 5 feet left or right of the starting point.

Reflection:

1. What were some situations that caused(or might cause) the robot to get stuck or go off route?

When it exploded.

2. How did you or might you solve the problem?

Don't let it explode.

3. Imagine your robot doesn’t move at all. List at least 5 things that you would check.

Check pins/wiring - also if pro[per pins are used throughout code.

Check if receivers are also functioning.

Check the batteries.

Connect LEds and check them individually to see if there are any individual LED problems.

Kick it.
