MINDSTORMS
NXT Programming Projects:
These projects
involve building the basic "TriBot" vehicle as outlined in the NXT
kit. Two motors that control the drive wheels are connected to
the B and C ports. The Touch, Ultrasonic, and Light Sensors are
plugged into their default positions.
Touch Sensor: |
Port 1 |
Ultrasonic Sensor: |
Port 4 |
Light Sensor: |
Port 3 |
Project #2: Forward and Back
1. Make the Robot move forward 10
rotations and back 10 rotations.
2. Change the Speed to a low and high rate to experiment.
3. Change rotations to degrees and time.
4. Use a ruler and try to have the robot move exactly 2 foot forward
and back.
|
Project #3: Forward, Spin, and Back
1. Change the Project #1 program to
add a spin. So, the robot will move forward 10 rotations, spin
around, and move back 10 rotations.
2. Make the robot move exactly 2 feet foward, spin around 180 degrees,
and then go back to same spot where it started.
(Note
that you will have to calculate how many rotations the robot will need
to spin exactly 180 degrees.)
Extras:
1. Use Looping and movement commands to create a dance routine for your
robot.
2. Use musical form for your dance routine. Use "My Blocks" to
simplifiy your form.
Example: AABA, ABA, ABAB
|
Project #4: Using the Ultrasonic Sensor:
Avoid the Wall
1. Add the ultrasonic sensor to the robot.
2. Using the Loop and Switch icons, create a program that allows the
robot to move about the room.
3. If it gets close to a wall, the robot will stop, move backwards, and
spin to pick a new direction.
|
Project #5: Touch Sensor: Bounce off Objects
1. Add the touch sensor to the robot.
2. Use the Loop and Switch functions, create a program that allows the
robot to move about the room.
3. If the robot touches an object, the robot will stop, move backwards,
and spin to pick a new direction.
