   • Movement
     • Setting motor speed
       • Turning
         • Turn (My Robot) for 60 degrees
     • Setting Movement Motor
       • D+C
   • Sensors
     • Distance
       • Identify and locate around objects
     • Colour
       • Detects Colors
     • Pressure
       • Obstacle Removal Process
   • Algorithms
     • Select And Condition
       • a condition is a test that results in true or false, and selection is the tool used to make a decision based on that test.
         • IF Bubble Tea ordered THEN  OUTPUT  ‘Bubble Tea ready soon!’ ELSE  OUTPUT "Please place your order"   ENDIF
     • Sequence
       • executing instructions one line at a time, in order, from top to bottom
         • DISPLAY smiley face OUTPUT “Let’s go! ”TURN 360 degrees MOVE forward
     • Assignment
       • storing a value inside a variable.
         • studentName = "Tom".
     • Interation
       • repeating a block of code multiple times, commonly referred to as a loop.
         • FOR 3 steps  MOVE forward ENDFOR

2. Task Requirements

   • Prescribed Criteria
     • Follow A Safe Path to the Exit
       • Follow The Black Line Path Towards the Exit
       • When it senses green it should turn left.
       • When the robot senses an obstacle it should move out of the way and around.
       • When The Robot senses red it should stop as it has reached the exit.
     • Use Sensor To identify any Dangers
       • Utilize distance sensor to detect an obstacle or any dangers.
       • Use the Force sensor to detect the danger.
     • Use Sensors to avoid or manoeuvre any dangers or obstacles.
       • The motor is used to move the obstacle out of the way.
       • The Distance Sensor is used to move way and around the object.
     • Complete a Specific Room Challenge
       • Poison Ivy Challenge - Follow the black path through the room to the exit. But beware, a hedge covered in poison ivy is blocking part of the path. Do not touch the hedge!
       • Rock Fall Challenge – Follow the black path through the room to the exit. But a rock has fallen beware.
   • Self Determined Criteria
     • movement
       • Does a 360 degrees turn
     • Sound
       • plays a sound after reaching the red part of the challenge
     • Light
       • Shows A light Signal Before Starting the Challenge.
     • Distance Sensor Light On
       • The light Turns on the Detect The Object Easier Before Starting.

3. Coding Constructs

   • Main Coding Constructs
     • Other Code Constructs
     • FOR Loop
       • for step = 1, 5 do moveForward() end
     • IF STATEMENT
       • IF age ≥ 18 THEN OUTPUT "You can vote." ENDIF
   • Indents In key Parts of the code

4. Planned Response

   • Poison Ivy Challenge
     • Follow the black path through the room to the exit. But beware, a hedge covered in poison ivy is blocking part of the path. Do not touch the hedge!
       • Colour Sensor To Detect and make sure the robot is on track and reaches the end safely
       • Distance Sensor To detect and manuovre around the obstacble
       • This Challenge Was Selected
   • Rock Fall Challenge
     • Follow the black path through the room to the exit. But beware, a heavy rock has fallen from an archway and is blocking part of the path. Move the rock from the path!
       • Same As Posion Ivy Challenge
