Squares, lines and Robots oh my! Pt 2

​This week in Robotics, the participants continued on with learning how to code their robot to follow a line. This session focused on coding the robots to distinguish between a black and a white line. The challenge for the session  was for participants to get their robot to follow a circle and a zigzag line. They first needed to test their colour sensor to get the correct colour reading of the black lines, then code the robot in a way that for as long as it was reading black, it would continue on. The participants enjoyed coding this because they could see that if they used a loop in their code, that the robot would forever continue to do that task. Once they figured out how to code the line, it was then up to coding the robot on the black lined circle. The circle was a tad more difficult as participants had to change the degree on which the robot turned and searched for lines. In the end, everybody was incredibly impressed by what they accomplished.
