Project+111

Project #111 - Hockey Player

In this project you will use three motors and four sensors. The Light, Touch, Color and Magnetic Compass sensors would be my choice. The goal is to find the ball, grab it and make a goal (place the ball in the Black Tape Rectangle). Note: there is a goal at each end of the field, so you need your compass to determine what direction to go when you detect the ball. The color sensor will let you know when the "red" ball is between your claws. The touch sensor will let you know when you have hit a wall, and the light sensor will let you know when you have rolled over the goal line.

Hint: The tricky part is if you have the ball and you reach the end of the field without crossing your goal line. How can you determine if you are on the left or right side of your goal. I would back up and turn 90 degrees left. Then I would proceed until I hit the side of the table. At that point, I can back up half of the field, turn 90 degrees right and take it in for the score. This is the first project that requires four sensors. It also requires some very intense programming so take a deep breath, roll up your sleeves and make us proud!
