Exploring Computer Science Lesson 6-11 Rescue Robot Day 2 Exploring Computer Science Lesson 6-11

Step 1 - Line Following You did the Switch program to follow a line, but it might not work for your robot and this course! If your robot is going in circles then go to the view programs and check the light sensor on the white and on the line. Adjust the light sensor condition in your code to match what you see. If your robot is getting lost on the turns then you can: Adjust the speed. Slow it down Rather than running one wheel forward and stopping the other wheel, have the one wheel move forward and the other wheel move backward (at about ½ the speed)

Step 2 – Finding the Victims You will need to decide whether to use the Ultrasonic sensor or the Touch sensor. Both can work. Your robot must not push the victim! A touch is OK but the victim cannot move. If you want to use the touch sensor, you will need to build a “bumper” – Search the internet for possible designs.
