Robotics – Sensor presentations
Feb 11th
Objectives
- Students present and explain the functions and usage of the sensors (color, ultrasound).
- Students put into practice their knowledge about the sensors and program the robot to utilize the sensor.
Group A Color Sensor
- sensor test with different colors
- follow the black line on the testpad
- program the robot to announce (sound) the colors as it recognizes them
- how big should the start point be?
Group B Ultra Sound Sensor
- test course with obstacles
- detect an obstacle, stop as close as possible to the obstacle
- program the robot to announce (sound) the distance to the obstacle
- program the robot to drive around the obstacle

Robotics – Video list
Feb 10th
This is a compilation of robotics videos for use in the classroom, after school clubs, or purely entertainment.
Robotics – Save & Sensors
Feb 10th
Save: The Lego Mindstrom Software doesn’t saves files for Users under UNC paths like \\srv1\project\ Users can save files to drives with dirve letter like D:\, V:\, Z:\ and USB thumbdrive with drive letter.
Sensors: All sensors values can be viewed on the NXT controller with > View > ’select sensor’ > ’select port”
Robotics – Sensors
Feb 9th
Presentation Specs
Read, explore and test ALL sensors one-by-one, check user guide, search online (youtube, google, etc.)
- What is the function of the sensor?
- How far is its reach?
- How fast does the sensor and software react?
- Test the sensors one-by-one and document the results.
- **Record/note your research
