Today, the campers were introduced to the engineering and programming concepts focused around sound and light sensors.  Campers used the sound sensor and their programming skills to make the robotic vehicle move forward, stop, and turn left when loud sounds were made. This challenge was called "Sound Off." Then, campers used light sensors to drive their robots along a dark line. "Follow the Line" was the challenge campers tackled using the light sensors. Dr. Lee Kem, a special visitor to our morning camp, stopped by to observe the excitement and a few of our challenges in the hallway of Alexander Hall.

Teams learned a variety of skills in order to prepare 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 morning break at 10:30 so your camper can demonstrate some of his or her projects. Bring your cameras and be ready to experience MSU Robotics Camp 2008 at its finest!
