Module 1: Sensors I - Touch Sensor This module serves as an introduction to the different types of sensors in the Lego Mindstorms kit. You will make TankBot more intelligent by giving it a bumper so it knows when it has run into something. In this module, you will... • Tip of the Day: The Replace Tool. • Write a program that makes • TankBot react to its bumper. • Learn why robots need sensors. • Learn about the types of • sensors in the Lego kit. • Learn about conditional • statements • Build a bumper for TankBot that • uses a touch sensor. • Write a program that lets • you control TankBot with a • remote control. • Learn about control loops.
Module 2: Sensors II - Light Sensor This module continues the lesson on sensors by introducing a sensor that can detect the intensity of light. You will use a light sensor to have TankBot track a black line on a white surface. In this module, you will... • Give TankBot a light sensor. • Learn about Light Sensor Wait-for statements. • Learn how to see what the light sensor is reading. • Write a program that makes TankBot stop when it sees a black • or white surface. • Write a program that makes TankBot track a black and white edge. • Complete a worksheet on Sensors.
