Navigation using the Light Sensor

Part A

Part B

 

Part A

The Rules

The Course

   Construct a robot using any configuration to traverse the course shown on the right.

 

   You can use 1 or 2 light sensors.

 

   The Robot starts at the bottom - behind the line

 

   The race can begin after I give the signal. Time starts when the robot moves

 

   The time stops when the robot completely clears the end of the line 

 

 

The run will not count if

 

    The robot is touched or otherwise interfered with during the race.

 

    Any portion of the robot travels 1 foot away from the line at any time

      (other than at the beginning and after leaving the line at the end)

 

    More than 1 continuous foot is traversed without the line being between the front wheels.

 

    The front two wheels are not on opposite sides of the tape upon exit at the top

 

Part B

The Rules

The Course

   Construct a robot using any configuration to traverse the course

       shown on the right.

 

   You can use 1 or 2 light sensors, a sound sensor and an

        ultrasonic sensor.

 

   The Robot starts at the beginning of the line at the top

 

   The race can begin after I give the signal. Time starts when the robot

       moves on sound supplied by the team.

 

   The robot must traverse the course and stop between the end of the

       line and the wall. The robot  will stop when the wall is sensed by the

       ultrasonic sensor.

 

 

The run will not count if

 

    The robot is touched or otherwise interfered with during the race.

 

    Any portion of the robot travels 1 foot away from the line at any time

      (other than at the beginning and after leaving the line at the end)

 

    More than 1 continuous foot is traversed without the line being

       between the front wheels.

 

    The front two wheels are not on opposite sides of the tape upon exit

       at the bottom
