Hector gives a signal

Programming level 1

Program Hector and Nemecsek to go to a certain wood stack

P1

How to build

Hector and Nemecsek

  • Build a robot with a small figure of a boy and a small dog on top of it
  • Add 4 Touch Sensors to it (for going a given distance forward, backward, turning 90° left, right)
  • Write and transfer the sample program to it
  • Students can program the robot’s movement by pressing the touch sensors one after the other (like with Beebot)

Programming level 2

Build Hector and Nemecsek moving on a programmed route

P2

How to build

Hector and Nemecsek moving on a programmed route

  • Build a robot with a small figure of a boy and a small dog on top of it
  • Students should program it to move along a planned route (not line-following)

Programming level 3

Build Hector as a controlled robot

P3

How to build

Build a robot dog – Hector - 5 touch sensor

  • It can be controlled with a 4 Touch sensor controller (functions can be used)
  • A 5th Touch sensor serves for switching on the tail wagging

OR

Build a robot dog – Hector - IR Photoreflector

  • It should move with line following using 1 IR Photoreflector
  • It should stop and waig its tail when a Touch sensor is pressed

Programming level 4

Build cooperative or programmable robots

P4

How to build

cooperative Hector and Nemecsek

  • Build 2 robots: Hector and Nemecsek on rolling robots
  • Build the maze of the Grund
  • Program Hector to be able to navigate in the maze, not coming up against the walls. For this, 2 IR Photoreflectors joined to the left and right sides of the robot can be used
  • Hector should stop and wag his tail on a servo motor when he gets out of the maze.
  • The end of the maze can be signaled with a black line that can be detected by a 3rd IR Photoreflector pointed downwards

OR

programmable Hector and Nemecsek

  • Students build the robot and write the program described in P1
  • The program’s function: the route the robot should follow can be entered by sequentiall pressing the forward, backward, right and left buttons
  • The robot remembers the sequence, and traverses the entered route at the press of an additional Touch sensor (using list, variables, functions)
