Bump-N-Go, Touch Sensor Trolley and Scrambled Eggs were the tasks of the day for the Advanced Robotics campers. Tasks required campers to use combinations of programming and the remote control with their RCX units. Teams were introduced to the touch sensors. The touch sensors allowed campers to bump their robots into objects to trigger steps in their robot programs. Trolley Car required one motor and a gear assembly to maneuver a trolley across a string using 2 touch sensors to change direction of the trolley car. Scrambled Eggs required pushing selected plastic eggs off of a narrow board which held them in place. Campers also had the option of using three motors to complete this task, all in preparation for the Advanced Robotics Derby events held tomorrow. 

Teams learned a variety of skills all in preparation for the Robot Derby events to be held on Day Five. Parents, grandparents, family, and friends, you are all welcome to join the Derby Day events after our break at 2:30 so your camper can demonstrate some of his or her robotic projects.
