Build a path for your robot to follow. You can use electrical tape on a floor, or marker on paper. You can use objects as milestones to indicate a path that can be detected by either the Touch Sensor, Color Sensor, or Ultrasonic Sensor.
## Program
### Program
Before you program, think about:
* How will you program the robot to follow a path?
* How will you program the robot to communicate its position?
* Which programming blocks will you use?
* How will you program the robot to follow a path?
* How will you program the robot to communicate its position?
* Which programming blocks will you use?

### Sample Solution

[![Video: EV3 Track Rover](/static/lessons/make-it-communicate/ev3-track-rover.jpg)](/static/lessons/make-it-communicate/trackrover.mp4)
The Track Rover follows a path using the color sensor. It identifies two locations by color.

Track Rover solution combines these building ideas:
* EV3 frames
* Tracks
* Color sensor 2
Two copies of the tracks are built: one for the right side and a mirror image for the left side.

### Sample Program Solution
This program works with the Track Rover. If you create a different robot, adjust the program to fit your solution.
#### Program summary:
Program summary:
* If the Color Sensor sees black, Motor B runs at -50 power and Motor C turns off.
* If the Color Sensor sees white, Motor B turns off and Motor C runs at -50 power.

As you work on your solution:
1. Describe one part of your design that worked especially well.
2. Describe one design change that you had to make.
3. What will you try next?
### Review and Revise
Take a moment to reflect on your robot solution.
### Think about:
* Can the robots movement be more accurate?
* What are some ways that others have solved the problem?

### Personalize your project
* Add/remove LEGO elements to improve the way your robot moves.
* Click on the JavaScript tab and experiment with changing the values in the code.
* Add a custom image or sounds by adding blocks from the Brick or Music menus.

## Communicate
Here are some ideas:
* Create a video of your project, especially your final presentation and your robots performance.
* Explain some important features of your software program.
* Produce a building guide for your model by taking a series of photographs as you deconstruct it.
* Include an image of your program with comments.
* Add a team photograph!
