year 9 digi robotics

1. self-determined criteria

   • when the robot makes it to the end of the maze make a short video on the spike prime robot saying good job!
     • using the screen on the top of the robot

2. prescribed criteria

   • follow a safe path to the exit (black line)
     • using the colour sensor and motors
     • identify and manoeuvre through the obstacle/ posion ivy hedge
       • while using the ultrasonic sensor and/or touch sensor

3. spike prime robot

   • touch sensor
     • detects an object by touching it and how heavy it is by the nm of pressure applied to the sensor
   • screen
     • used to display words or drawings
   • colour sensor
     • used to detect the colour beneath the robot/ on the mat
   • ultrasonic sensor
     • detects an object by being close to it
   • motors
     • large
       • for moving the robot
     • small
       • for moving constructed components to be moved

4. coding constructs

   • if statement
     • what is a if statement? its a statement used to make decisions based on conditions
   • is equal to
     • what does is equal to do? is equal is a operator to conditions
   • selectives
     • if else
     • then
     • definition: are a selection in which a choice is made between two other courses of action.
     • while
   • loops
     • while loops
       • definition: is a loop with a simple conditional test at its beginning
     • for loops
       • definition: is a loop that iterates for a certain amount of times
   • variables
     • variables is a named value

5. psuedocode constructs and language

   • selection
     • where one decision/ selection is chose than another using a construct like if else, then etc.
   • modularisation
     • definition: is a process where code is divided into groups of code called modules
   • sequence
     • definition: is a linear progression where one task is formed sequentially after another
   • iteration
     • iteration is the process to loop something (reiterate)
   • condition
     • a number or character

6. planned routes and responses

   • go around the poison ivy hedge (my chosen one)
     • can be completed by using the ultrasonic sensor to detect it, the motors to move around the hedge and the colour sensor to get back on the black line/path
   • clear the rock out of the way
     • can be completed by using the touch sensor to detect the object and the motors to move it out of the way
