Programming level 3
Build road signs
P3
How to build
Road signs
- Build 3 road signs - each turning around a servo motor
- Each should include 1-1 Touch sensor
- Hide the Touch sensors behind a wall
- When the Touch sensor is pressed, the road sign rotates to a preset position, then returns to the original position after 2 seconds
- Build a robot with a donkey on top (use 2 DC motors and 4 Touch sensors)
- Program it to work with a 4-button remote control
- 2 children play with the robots: one controls the markers, the other has to drive the donkey in the direction indicated by the markers

Programming level 4
Build road signs
P4
How to build
Road signs
- Build the road signs and remote-controlled robot like in P3
- Install 1 IR Photoreflector and 1 LED on each road sign
- When the IR Photoreflector detects that the donkey robot is approaching the road sign, the sign turns in a random direction and the LED lights up
- The robot must be moved in the direction shown
- When the robot leaves the road sign (detected by IR Photoreflector), the sign returns to its original position
OR
- Connect 2 Touch sensors to each signpost
- Turn the sign (in steps) as long as the Touch sensor is pressed - one to the right and one to the left
- Move the remote control robot in the direction shown
