Obstacle Coarse Challenge

The obstacle coarse challenge is a coarse where it challenges us to use all 4 of the sensors on our robot. We will have to put togather a robot that has a light sensor, touch sensor, sound sensor, ultrasonic sensor all on 1 robot. Just putting the robot togather is going to be really tough, not to mention putting a formula togather that accually works for what we have to do. We will have to start the obstacle coarse by clapping once and making the robot go forward and stop in a box that it senses with its light sensor. To make the light sensor sense the difference of the dark and light we will have to find a threshold. Next, it will have to run forward, touch a wall and stop. We will have to place the touch sensor in the front of the robot so it is even possible to touch the wall infront of you. Once you hit the wall the robot will then have to move backwards, stop and turn. After it turns it will have to move forward and sense a wall with the ultra sonic sensor. On this wall we wont be able to touch it like we did with the touch sensor. We will have to make the ultra sonic sensor get about 1 foot from the wall, turn right when it senses it. Finally, it will have to move past the finish line without hitting a stack of coke cans that are in the way, this is also going to be achieved by using the ultra sonic sensor. If you complete this whole obstacle coarse without violating any of the rules you will be graded for knowing how to use all the sensors and knowing how to program them all.

Could be a little more detailed, but a very concrete overview of the obstacle course challenge. Well done.
