Mrs Garlick’s solution to the Green City Challenge – deploying the chimney stacks (Level 3)

Dear Bloggers,

Below are some photos and a video showing my response to the Green City Challenge.

The robot started from the base area, moved to the factory and picked up the white chimeny stack and knocked down the black one.  This released the energy brick which rolled out and was caught in a tray.  The robot then returned to the base area.

My robot had different attachments:

1. a light sensor so I could position the robot by detecting the black lines.

2. an arm with a hook that could pick up the white chimney and knock over the black.

3. a tray to catch the energy brick.

I also used a touch sensor to control the  hook so I could place the hook in the upright 12 o’clock position to start.
