Prerequisites:
this by searching the ground for distinguishing marks and following those marks, or lines, to a goal. This
unit will take students through the basics of line tracking, so that they can get their robots from here to
there without having to measure the distance.
Unit summary: students will…
- Calculate a threshold value for light levels
- Use sensor thresholds to control the robot’s behavior
- Write a program that makes the robot track one side of a line
- Modify the program to track the other side of the line
Prerequisites:
- Set up an area with a black line of electrical tape on a light surface, or have an area ready for students to set up
- Full Speed Ahead Activity
- Present to class the Follow the Guidelines powerpoint
- Review/teach calculating thresholds and using View Mode
