  6. The Lego System Motor RCX Brick

  7. The RCX Brick Inputs 3 inputs labelled 1, 2 and 3 Outputs 3 outputs labelled A, B and C

  8. Challenge 1 • You will need X2 X2 X2 Your Challenge……. • Put the components together. • When you push RUN, the RCX must move!

  9. What makes a robot? • BODYA physical body of some type • BEHAVIOURThey exhibit some kind of behaviour • CONTROLA program to control the robot

  10. The Lego System Computer running Robolab IR transmitter Motor RCX Brick

  11. This is Pilot 2

  12. Challenge 2 Using Pilot 2, you must…. • Put your robot together (again!) • Make your robot travel in a straight line forwards. • Make your robot travel in a straight line backwards. • Make your robot spin

  13. This is Pilot 3 Step 1 Step 2

  14. Challenge 3 Using Pilot 3, you must…. • Make your robot travel in TWO different ways • If you make it go forwards and backwards, can you make one of the steps a spin? • If you make it spin, can you make one of the steps going forwards? • When it is going forwards or backwards and each motor is going at a different speed, does this affect how your robot moves?
