Zippy Bot: Navigation without Sensors

 

Part a

Program Zippy-Bot (or a design of your choice) to move forward for approximately 3 feet, stop, and move backwards (without turning) for approximately 3 feet. Note that the tile in the lab is a square, approximately 1 foot on a side. 

DEMONSTRATION ONLY- DO NOT NEED TO TURN ANYTHING IN

 

Part b

Program Zippy-Bot to move forward for approximately 3 feet, turn completely around (so is now facing starting point) and move for approximately 3 feet.

DEMONSTRATION ONLY- DO NOT NEED TO TURN ANYTHING IN

 

Part c

Program the robot to move forward 3 feet and stop. Then turn right, go 3 feet and stop, then turn right , go 3 feet and stop, repeat and arrive back

at the starting point and stop (a square is traversed). Note that you are traversing a square...

The staring point will be marked (center of the robot). At the end, the robot must stop within 1 foot of the starting point.

Practice runs until we begin

You have 3 tries for each part

Robot can start anywhere behind the line

Foul - run does not count - if go outside the listed boundaries
