Task: Add a sensor (light of touch sensor), onto your vehicle which will prevent it from bumping into things.

Goals: To create a very safe vehicile.

Specifications: You must:

• Use either a light sensor or a touch sensor
• Program your sensor to react to wall and other objects.

1. 1. Discuss and decide with your group, which sensor would work best and how will it be attached.
2. 2. Build sensor into vehicle design.  (Is it structural strong?  Is it connected properly?)

 

Check with your Quality Supervisor before going to the programming lab.

1. 3. Write a program that will prevent your vehicle from crashing. (Check to make sure you attach a port modifier to your sensor icon!)
2. 4. Download your program into your RCX box, and test it.
3. 5. Re-design and re-program your vehicle if there are any bugs.
4. 6. Print your program and attach it to this sheet.  Also save a copy for your proposal.

Check with your Quality Supervisor before going to the programming lab.
