1. Code Constructs

   • If Statement
     • Statement that determines that something will happen only if a variable is met
       • If green squares are reached, turn left
   • FOR Loop
     • A loop that happens continuously depending on a certain variable
       • Forever, follow the black line

2. Task Requirements

   • Self-Determined Criteria
     • Criteria determined by the student or user that they create.
       • Display a smiley face on the robot when the exit is reached
   • Prescribed Criteria
     • Criteria prescribed by the assessment
       • Complete either the rockfall or poison ivy challenge

3. Planned Response

   • Rockfall Challenge
     • A challenge where the robot pushes through an obstacle
       • The robot uses the distance of pressure sensor to push through
   • Poison Ivy Challenge
     • A challenge where the robot moves around an obstacle
       • The robot uses the colour sensor to move around the obstacle

4. Spike Prime Robot

   • Motors
     • The two wheels on the robot that make it move
       • Give the robot the ability to turn, move, and set specific variables to the motors
   • Distance Sensor
     • Detects objects that are directly in front of the robot
       • Detects an obstacle for the rockfall challenge
   • Pressure Sensor
     • Detects when the robot makes contact with an object directly in front of it
       • Detects an obstacle for the rockfall challenge
   • Colour Sensor
     • Detects the colour of the ground beneath the robot
       • Detects the black line on the maze

5. Algorithm Constructs

   • Iteration
     • The process of continuing and repeating code until a condition is met
       • For Loop
   • Selection & Condition
     • Determine logical statements within a code
       • If statements, Booleans
   • Assignment
     • A statement used to assign a value to a variable
       • Set motors to E + F
   • Sequence
     • The order in which events happen in a code
       • Start, loop, if statement, stop
