Build a robot

  • Make sure the ColorSensor is in the correct height based on your colored objects.
  • Beware your wire management so they won't get stuck in the cars wheels.

Building instructions:

Get the robot ready

  • Try building your own car using the needed components.
  • Pick color objects that you want to scan (pick only objects of the color that can be read by the sensor) and place the on the ground.

Raspberry Python Code:


Ideas for improvement

  • Add additional sensors from Arduino to make sure the car cant crash from either side.
  • Try to make the robot have as smooth movement as possible.

Evaluate your performance

  • Think about how you approached the problem and about how else could it be solved.
  • Evaluate yourself on how you adapted when something didn't work as you hoped it would.
