  2. Project Description • Students will build a mock elevator for a 2 story building and create a program to control it. • The basic blocks will be: elevator car, elevator shaft, digital sensors, analog sensors. • The elevator and elevator shaft will be made of legos. • The elevator car will be powered using the motors from the lego kit. • Analog Sensors will be used to determine when the elevator has reached a given “floor.” • Digital Sensors will be used to determine if a customer is “calling” the elevator to a given “floor.” • The students will use the handyboard to control the motors and sensors to operate the elevator and program the device using Interactive C.
