Data Wires Activity Guide

1)     Introduction to Pipeline Explorer

A1: Watch Video

2)     Robot Config 

A1: Show Mr. Merrill that your color sensor is facing downwards

A2: Delete all programs from the robot

A3: Show Mr. Merrill that the name of your robot is the same as your kit number

3)     Random Move

A1: {Video} RandomMove (Robot moves at random speed between 1 to 100)

A2: Mini Challenge 1 (Robot moves a random distance from 1 to 5 rotations)

4)     Wall Distance Value

A1: {Video} WallDistanceValue (Robot distance from a wall determines speed)

A2: {Video} Same program within a loop block (Robot will slow as it approaches the wall)

A3: Try It! 1- Looping For Rotations (Robot will have a set power for each 3 rotations. Set the loop to 3)

A4: Try It! 2- Big Delay (Robot will move according to the distance of your hand in front of the robot)

A5: Mini Challenge 1- Dangerous Wall (Robot will play a sound and turn to the right as it approaches the wall)

5)     Displaying Data

A1: {Video} Show the word “Hello” on the EV3 display

A2: {Video} RotationDisplay (Display rotations of Motor B within a loop)

A3: Try It! 1- Display Touch Sensor (Robot displays a 1 or 0)

A4: Try It! 2- Display Color Sensor (Robot displays color number from cube)

A5: Try It! 3- Display Position (Display any text in the center of the EV3 screen)

A6: Mini Challenge 1- Multiple Display (Robot displays rotation of motor B, Motor C, and Ultrasonic distance

This block is important to use for displaying data:

6)     Calculation

A1: {Video} RotationDisplay (Display will show distance traveled in centimeters)

A2: Mini Challenge 1- Display Rotation in Centimeters

Exit and go to Bonus: My Blocks

A3: {Video} MyBlocks (Create forward left my block)

A4: {Video} MyBlocks (Create forward left my block that repeats behavior twice)

A5: Try It! 2- ForwardRight (Create forward right my block)

A6: My Block Storage (Show Mr. Merrill where my blocks are stored)

A7: Mini Challenge 2- Move For Centimeters My Block (Create my block that inputs centimeters and drives the correct rotations)

7)     Variables

A1: {Video} CaveLightDisplay (Robot stores and displays light reading in the cave)

A2: Mini Challenge 1- Find The Black Line Distance (Robot displays the distance to a black line in a cave)

8)     Review (Look over solutions to each of the activities and challenges)

9)     Challenge

A1: Pipeline Explorer Challenge- Enter the cave and display the distance and thickness of the line.

The block below is really important in this challenge!
