supply is interrupted. To test this we disconnect the battery pack. Then we reconnect the battery pack
and select the saved program by pressing the Prog button until the LED Prog1 lights up. To start the
program we simply press the button again.
Our robot can do much so far, right? Why don't we extend the assignment a bit?
A s s i g n m e n t 2 ( L e v e l 1 ) :
In order to keep the robot from stopping after just 7 seconds, we will now teach it to
dance.
● Lets have it go straight, turn right, turn left, go backwards for different lengths of
time and at various speeds.
● This should to continue until the program is stopped, by pressing the Prog button on
the Interface.
Ti p s :
• Simply keep reversing the polarity of the motors to make the robot go in the desired directions.
• The speed of the motors can be set between 1 and 8 in the property window of each motor symbol.
If M1 and M2 rotate in the same direction at different speeds the robot will make a turn.
• Draw a connecting line from the exit of the last program element to the line leading into the first
element to make the program repeat continually.
• You can find a finished example under Simple Robot 2.rpp.
Congratulations, you have now built your first robot and programmed it yourself. It might not be
especially intelligent since it is unable to recognize obstacles and would fall of the table if you don't
watch out. But this will change during the course of our further experiments.
