The objective:Your team will need to design and build a robot that uses all 4 sensors. You will then need to program your robot to maneuver through the obstacle course in the quickest time.
To make it move I will have to start with a clap. this is easy. To make it stop in the box is a little harder. I think I will have to put the light sensor on the back of the robot instead of the front. To make it wait for five seconds, I will simply just put in a wait block. The whole course program will be set up in the simple programs with reset blocks and extra trinkets that will make its run smoother. The cans are not liable to be easy though. They will be placed randomly and as I can't go out of the tape i cant make the robot turn a certian way. This means i will have to make the cans go away....

Good thought on moving the light sensor to the back of the robot. Since you wouldn’t be doing any line following, it would not be needed in the front. You will likely find that the front of your robot will fill up with additional sensors for the other obstacles in the course.
I look forward to reading more about solutions to the rest of the obstacles in the course. Let me know when you have posted your next blog entry about how you will tackle the touch sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and can avoidance!
Good luck!
It was great to come up with the idea to place the light sensor at the back of your robot.
what I'm mostly concerned about is how to avoid the stack of cans. What do you think?
go away? aw man! i was expecting something more like BLAST away
and your right, avoiding them seams to not be a workable option.
a porjectile is to complicated, so mabey just use a moving wepon part, which has been aproved as o.k. by mr. inskeep!
