Day Three was the turning point of Robotics Camp 2010 at Murray State. Next, campers used the NXT brick to complete challenging tasks from the common pallet of predesigned activities found in the NXT software. Campers added sound sensors and proframmed their robots first for a "Walk the Dog" activity and then one called "Around the Block," where they triggered each step of their program by making noise. "Near Miss" was the name of the challenge that provided campers the chance to use the fundamentals of programming with the ultrasonic sensor to control their robots. Next, campers worked on the "Zig Zag" challenge activity, where they programmed their robots to follow a zigzag maze using only the ultrasonic sensor. All campers were excited and are already planning for other challenging events for tomorrow, including the use of touch sensors!
