Purpose |
|
| Task #1: Move Straight (& Writing Code in mBlock.). |
This tutorial will show you how to write basic code for your robot with the program mBlock so that your robot will move straight.
- Task 1a. Programming Your Robot To Move Straight
- Task 1b. Programming Your Robot To Turn
- Task 1c. Programming Your Robot To Move Backwards.

| !Save Your Program! Sign In, Title, Save & Open a New Project |
Now that you completed your first program (Move Straight) this tutorial will show you how to Sign In, Title & Save this past program and then how to Open a New Project. There are two tutorials, one for Chromebooks users and the second is for Standard Computer (PC) users. |

| Task #2: Forward Turn & Forward Motion. |
Program your robot so that it: (View Task #1 inorder to successfully program Task #2)
- Waits 1 second to begin motion after the power switch has been activated.
- Turns forward right for 3 seconds.
- Stops and waits for 1 second.
- Turns forward left for 3 seconds.
- Stops and waits for 1 second.
- Drives straight for 3 seconds.
- Stop.

| Task #3: Backward Turn & Backward Motion |
Program your robot so that it:
- Waits 1 second to begin motion after the power switch has been activated.
- Turns backward right for 3 seconds.
- Stops and waits for 1 second.
- Turns backward left for 3 seconds.
- Stops and waits for 1 second.
- Drives backward for 3 seconds.
- Stop
Note:
- Duplicate the program you wrote for Task#2 and title this program, "Task3_MotionBackward."
- This program is very simple. After you duplicate the program you wrote in Task #2, just change the lines of code that allow the robot to forward to have it move backward.
- In order to make a wheel move backwards, place a negative "-" in front of the Motion '%' number.
- Since these lines of code do not provide a Length of Time that the robot should move... slide a "Wait Seconds" after them and choose the length of time that you woould like the robot to move.
