Year 9 - Item 1

1. Spike Prime Robot

   • Touch Sensor
     • This sensor is used to detect if the object in the way is movable or immovable using a true or false statement
   • Distance Sensor
     • The distance sensor is used to determine the distances from the object to properly navigate around or move out of the way
   • Motors
     • Motors help the robot move through out the map. They move 360 degrees, forward and backward
   • Colour Sensor
     • The sensor is used to line follow, the robots use this to see the colours to determine wether to turn left or right.

2. Task Requirments

   • Self-Determined Criteria
     • Accuracy
       • Ability to read the same line after moving off
       • Precision
       • Being able to manoeuver around
     • Constraints
       • Code baseline execution
       • Time tracking
       • Prject to be coded using Spike Prime and Spike Prime Robot.
   • Prescribe Criteria
     • Follow a safe path to the exit
       • use proper sensors needed to complete
       • understand that challenge
       • have a chosen challenge
     • Use sensor to identify any dangers or obstacles.
       • have a chosen challenge
       • use ultrasonic sensor
       • be able to manoeuvre around
     • Use sensor(s) to avoid or manoeuvre any dangers or obstacles.
       • use a range of sensors to complete
       • arrange code to reflect chosen challenge
       • have a chosen challege
     • Complete a room-specific challenge.
       • check whether its an immovalble or movable object
       • complete code for chosen challenge
       • decide on a challenge

3. Planned Response

   • Poison Ivy Challenge
     • This challenge is designed to be coded in a way that the robot uses its distance sensor to determine that it has to move around the poison ivy and then get back on track.
   • Rock-fall Challenge
     • This challenge is designed to be coded in a way that the robot uses its touch and distance sensor in a true and false statement to determine if the fallen rock is movable and to move it out of the way.

4. Code Constructs

   • IF statements
     • code type used to help program make a decision
       • for example, a true or false statement
   • FOR loops
     • code type used to repeat a block of code a certain amount of times
       • for exaple, is my count equal to or less than 5 ?

5. Algorithm

   • Assginments
     • stores an important value into a variable
       • Example
   • Sequence
     • the order in which the computer runs lines of code
       • Example
   • Selection and Condition
     • condition evaluates true or false, selection is a control structure used to make decisions and change its execution based of a condition
       • Example
   • Iteration
     • the process of repeating a block of code multiple times
       • Example
