Here is your mission:

  1. Attach touch, sound, and ultrasonic sensors (also found in the NXT 2.0 Guidebook) to your robot.
  2. Adapt and program the robot to perform the minefield challenge.

Here are the rules for the Minefield:

  • You will design and program your robot to navigate through an obstacle course, which will have many metal washers.
  • On your robot, you can place a magnet provided to your team. You can tape this magnet onto any part of your robot.

  • Using the touch, sound, and ultrasonic sensors you can cue your robot to move the magnet over any of the washers.
  • You may not pickup or touch your robot once you have started it in the minefield.
  • You will have five minutes to pick up as many mines as possible.

Use Inspiration or Smart Ideas to Brainstorm with your group what your robot needs to do, who will be assigned to adapting and who will be assigned to programming.
