You are to construct a Lego car and program the car to follow a specific route. You and your partner can follow the instructions that come with the car or make up your own car design.


Finally got the car working well. Subroutines 1 and 0 are supposed to correct for straight if the car starts to drift one way or the other and they work to a limited degree. Subroutine 2 makes the car do a 180 and subroutine 3 clears the counters and stops the motors between operations. The pause is to keep the car from lurching around too much as it changes directions. Slower acceleration could help too, but this project could keep an obsessive compulsive, perfectiontionist, who likes robots, busy for a long time. Enough is enough.

Watch here, pictures of the car may be added soon.
