Robot Escape Challenge

Robot Escape Challenge

1. Prescribed Criteria

   • Found on task sheet
     • PC1
       • Follow a safe path to the exit
         • Making sure my robot follows a safe path to the exit from the start to end, without any contact with obstacles.
     • PC2
       • Use sensors on spike robot to avoid and identify any obstacles.
         • Instead of using measurements to track where the robot goes, using touch sensors was a better alternative, as it allows the robot to safely avoid obstacles.
     • PC3
       • Complete a room specific challenge
         • There were two tasks in this challenge, the 1st one being poison ivy. This is where the robot notices an obstacle and goes around it, the second one is the rockfall challenge which makes the robot move the rock out of its path.
     • PC4
       • Use sensor(s) to avoid or manoeuvre any danger or obstacles
         • By using touch sensors the robot was able to manoeuvre it's way around the obstacle

2. Self determined Criteria

   • Requirements
     • Making sure the robot doesnt play a sound or display a message in the middle of the track
       • Make sure the robot plays both messages at the end of the track.
   • At the end of the challenge my robot will make a sound and display a message or image on the screen

3. Knowledge of Spike Prime Robot (use your knowledge or google)

   • Sensors
     • Touch sensor
       • The touch sensor allows the robot to feel obstacles that are touching it
     • Colour sensor
       • The colour sensor allows the robot to follow lines and learning when to go and stop through different colours being noticed
     • Distance sensor
       • The distance sensor allows the robot to sense obstacles or dangers that are far away through the use of reflection
     • Motion sensor
       • This allows the robot to move and follow codes, being one of the most important parts of the robot

4. Coding Constructs (Variable, IF, IF, ELSE, FOR loop, etc)

   • Using a forever loop in the code is helpful to create a reasonable code
     • Using IF, ELSE, THEN statements ultimately create a better code for the task

5. Algorithm/Pseudocode (Keywords, indentations, bold, etc)

   • BOLD WORDS
     • Keywords
   • Indentations
   • LOOPS
     • WHILE
     • IF
     • THEN
     • ELSE
     • START
     • STOP
     • END

6. Planned responses/ routes

   • Poison Ivy Challenge
     • GO AROUND OBSTACLE
   • Rock Fall Challenge
     • Push obstacle
   • Line Following
   • Avoiding Dead ends and obstacles
