Garage Door Opener

Thats right, an automatic garage door.

HINT

Your challenge will be to construct a robot that acts as a garage door opener:

  1. The robot/garage control has to open a mini door, for a toy car to pass through

  2. The garage door only opens after inputing a special code (ex. red touch, blue touch, then green touch )

  3. The garage door closes only after pushing a certain button

  4. The garage door cannot close while a ‘car’ is under/inbetween the open doors

Distance meter

Your challenge will be to construct a robot that acts as a distance meter:

  1. The program will detect the distance of an object

  2. The program will represent the distance using different light colours via the touch led. ‘Colder’ colours (ex. Purple, blue) will be used for far distances, and warmer colours (ex. yellow, red) will be used for distances that are near.

  3. Lastly your robot should play a different tone of sound for how far a distance is.
