Today we had to set up our robot for the 4 sensor obstacle course. This challenge was quite difficult just trying to make a robot with all 4 sensors on it. Putting the robot togather was quite tricky figuring out where to put each of the sensors, but i think we figured out a way to get them all on there in the correct way.
The first sensor we put on was the light sensor because we thought it would be the easiest to figure out where to place. We put this sensor on the back of the robot so nothing could get in its way and it could find out the dark and light spots easy.
Next, we put on the sound sensor because that also is pretty easy to figure out where to put. We placed the sound sensor up at the top of the robot so it could here our clap to set of the obstacle course.
Third, we put the ultra sonic sensor on because it was already placed in the front, and we knew that it had to be in the front to be able to work. It was a little bit difficult placing it somewhere in the front where we could place a touch sensor right by it to get in the way of the ultrasonic sensor. We finally found out where to put it.
Lastly, we had to place the touch sensor on it to where it would not get in the way of the ultrasonic sensor. This sensor was the hardest to get on just because the ultrasonic sensor was right in the way. We figured that if we put the touch sensor under the ultrasonic sensor and a bit infront of it then it could still touch something and not get in the way of the utrasonic sensor.
Our final outcome i think came out pretty good and hopefully we can program something that accually works and runs well.

Good description of what you needed to do and how you accomplished it. Great idea for the touch sensor.
