Lesson 4: Ant bot

Bonus points

Google Classroom

Congratulations, you are finished!

Now you are ready to improve your ant bot and share your ideas with others.

Challenges

1: To make it easier to control, try and program your robot so that it starts/stops at the sound of a loud clap. This will require the addition of a sound sensor. To accomplish this task you will also need to be familiar with wait blocks.

2: No animals use wheels to navigate, can you build your ant to move using some other method?

3: If you are working in a group you could arrange multiple ant bots around a room and run them together, what will happen?

Share your ideas below! Post YouTube links to your creations.
