# Robot 2 Lesson
|
|
|
|
## Step 1 - Build Your Driving Base Robot @unplugged
|
|
|
|
Build the robot driving base:

|
|
|
## Step 2 - Show an image and move @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Add blocks to the ``||loops:on start||`` block to show an image and move the motors **B+C** for ``1`` rotation.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.showMood(moods.neutral)
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(0, 50, 1, MoveUnit.Rotations)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 3 - Brick button @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Let's change the code so that your robot moves when the **UP** button is pressed.
|
|
Add an ``||brick:on button up||`` block and move ``||motors:steer motors||`` inside of it.
|
|
After downloading your code, press **UP** to move the robot.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(0, 50, 1, MoveUnit.Rotations)
|
|
})
|
|
brick.showMood(moods.neutral)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 4 - Braking @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
When the motors are done turning, the robot keeps on moving for a short distance.
|
|
Turn on the **brakes** so that your robot stops immediately.
|
|
Drag a ``||motors:set brake||`` block into the ``||loops:on start||`` and set it to **ON** for the the **BC** motors.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.buttonUp.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(0, 50, 1, MoveUnit.Rotations)
|
|
})
|
|
brick.showMood(moods.neutral)
|
|
motors.largeBC.setBrake(true)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 5 - Left and Right turn @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Let's make the robot turn to the left when the **LEFT** button is pressed on the brick.
|
|
Find an ``||brick:on button||`` block and put a ``||motors:steer motors||`` in it. Make the turn ratio drive the motor to left.
|
|
Get another ``||brick:on button||`` and set it to run when the **RIGHT** is pressed.
|
|
Put a ``||motors:steer motors||`` in for that button and set the turn ratio to drive to the right.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.buttonLeft.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(-50, 50, 1, MoveUnit.Rotations)
|
|
})
|
|
brick.buttonRight.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(50, 50, 1, MoveUnit.Rotations)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 6 - Backwards @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Let's make the robot go backwards when the **DOWN** button is pressed on the brick.
|
|
Add a ``||motors:steer motors||`` to an ``||brick:on button||`` block and change the speed to be negative. This will make the motor go backwards.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.buttonDown.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(0, -50, 1, MoveUnit.Rotations)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 7 - Add an Ultrasonic sensor @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Add an Ultrasonic sensor to your driving base.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 8 - Stopping distance @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Create a program that moves the Driving Base and makes it stop 6 cm from the Cuboid.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
brick.buttonEnter.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
|
|
motors.largeBC.steer(0, 50)
|
|
pauseUntil(() => sensors.ultrasonic4.distance() < 6)
|
|
motors.largeBC.stop()
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Try sending your robot towards a wall! |
