BOEBOT
Boebot is a programming software used to program mini robots, or bots. This was more of a project that consisted of many different kinds of code and tasks. The first task was to get the robot to follow a piece of tape on a table without having the robot actually touching the tape. To do this, I had to program the bot to turn at the right times and program how long it had to turn for so that it wouldn't hit the tape but stay on track at the same time. After that we had to use "whiskers" on the bot as a sensor. It was put in a course with a bunch of turns and walls and the bot is programmed to back up and turn a certain way once it hits one of the whiskers. The goal is to get the robot out of the course without touching it and programming it so that it is only the whiskers that are basically deciding where the robot travels. The final task was to program the robot to make it from one end of the school all the way down to the other without touching it or telling it when to turn and so on. I went about completing this by using two light sensors on the front of the bot. I programmed the bot to make it so that it would follow light from a light source. I put a cover over the sensors so that it was dark enough where it would follow my light and not the light from the hallway. This way instead of telling the robot what to do and when to turn, it just has to follow where ever I put the light.
