1. Code Constructs

   • Other Code Constructs
     • Forever loops
     • Repeat until __ loops
       • Repeat until colour detector is equal to red
       • Repeat until distance sensor is closer than 10cm
       • Repeat until colour sensor is equal to black
   • FOR loop
   • IF Statement
     • IF + END
       • If colour sensor is equal to black
       • If distance sensor is closer than 10cm

2. Spike Prime Robots

   • Other Sensors
     • Colour Sensor
       • Line following
       • Detecting whether robot is on path
   • Distance Sensor
     • Detect obstacle
       • If distance sensor is closer than 10cm
   • Motors
     • 10-100% speed
       • Motors to 30% for precise movements

3. Task Requirements

   • Prescribed Criteria
     • uSE SENSORS EFFICIENTLY TO AVOID/MANOEUVRE AROUND ANY DANGERS OR OBSTACLES
       • Use colour sensor to get the robot back on track
     • Complete a room specific challenge
       • Robot has to precisely manouevre around obstacles using its sensors, like colour sensor and distance sensor
     • User sensors to identify any dangers or obstacles
       • Distance sensor to detect when the robot is within 10cm of the obstacle
       • colour sensor to identify whether robot is off/on track
     • Follow a safe path to the exit
   • Self Determined Criteria
     • Robot will display text or noise to identify detecting an obstacle
       • Robot displays the text "uh oh" when detecting an obstacle
       • Robot will use sound sensor to play "fart 1" when it detects obstacle and stops until obstacle is not detected anymore

4. Algorithm constructs

   • Iteration
     • Repeat
       • Repeat until colour sensor is equal to red
       • Repeat until distance sensor is closer than 10cm
       • Repeat until colour sensor is equal to black
   • Assignment
     • Storing a value in a variable
       • e.g studentname = tom
   • Selection & Condition
     • Selection statement uses a condition to select which line of program will be used next
       • e.g IF distance sensor is closer than 10cm THEN write "uh oh"
   • Sequence
     • Instructions processed one after another
       • E.G Move left -43, Move forward, Move right 43

5. Planned response

   • Rockfall Challenge
   • Poison Ivy Challenge
     • Robot will maneovre around the obstacle back onto the track
