Robot escape room

Robot escape room

1. planning

   • poison ivy challenge
     • go around obstacle

2. knowledge of spike prime robot

   • Parts
     • sensors
       • touch
         • senses touch - when touched activates code
       • gyro
         • creates sound
       • colour
         • senses colour - follows coloured paths
       • force
         • senses force applied - can stop or go when pressure is added
     • light matrix
       • displays lights - can create signs
     • motor
       • makes robot go forwards / backwards or spin

3. Language

   • algorithm condtructs
     • Sequence
       • A set of instructions that are processed one after the other.
     • Iteration
       • Iteration is also called repetition and is used when something is repeated over and over again, so anything where the program goes round in a loop.
     • Assignment
       • Assignment is storing a value in a variable.
     • Selection and condition
       • A selection statement uses a condition to select which line of the program will be used next.
     • Modularisation
   • pseudocode
     • START
       • DECLARE
       • SET
     • END
       • END IF
       • END WHILE
       • END FOR
     • IF, THEN, ELSE
     • WHILE LOOP
     • INPUT , OUTPUT
     • GREATER THAN
     • TO
     • FOR LOOP
     • GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO
     • LESS THAN
     • EQUAL TO

4. Task requirements

   • Prescribed criteria
     • Follow a safe path to the exit.
     • Use sensor(s) to avoid or manoeuvre any dangers or obstacles.
     • Use sensor to identify any dangers or obstacles.
     • Complete a room-specific challenge.
   • Self-determined criteria
     • At start show smiley face
     • at end of path do a 360 turn as celebratory dance
     • when obstacle is sensed show sad face
