Dear Bloggers,

This week stage 3 children were challenged to write a program that allowed their robots to progress and stop through a series of black lines.

To do this students had to add a light sensor and use the view menu on their robot to read the amount of light (%)  reflected from the black and white surfacse.  Using this knowledge they programmed their robots.

light sensor must be facing downwards

Using the light sensor in the view menu to measure and read the amount of  reflected light.

See below the video of the robot in action

Thanks for calling by
