Sly foxes

  • 3 small foxes on 1 robot (2 DC motors, 2 Touch Sensors)
  • Ranger on 1 robot (2 DC motors, 1 Touch Sensor, 1 red LED)
  • Both robot programs are triggered by Touch sensor
  • The ranger robot moves back and forth
  • One of the children activates the fox robot by pressing the Touch Sensor, timing it so it does not to meet the ranger

How to build

Building and coordinating moving figures

  • The harvester walks around the wheat field, stopping at intervals to swing his scythe. The wind blows through the wheat field and birds flutter around the tree next to it.
  • Harvester: Touch Sensor starts the program.
  • It uses an IR Photoreflector to track a line.
  • Stops at predetermined intervals and uses servo motor to perform swinging motion.
  • Wheat field: Touch Sensor triggers the program.
  • Gears driven by a DC motor move the wheat stalks and the tree with the birds.

How to build

Escape of the foxes through the field

  • A combination of P2 and P3
  • The harvester is equipped with 2 Touch Sensors, he stops at random intervals, this is when the foxes must be switched on
  • The harvester stops when the Touch Sensor is pressed, turns towards the foxes and starts shouting, waving his hands. The direction of the turn is determined by which of the 2 Touch Sensors is pressed.
