CONFIGURATION OF THE WONDERBORG
The WonderBorg's Intelligence
(i.e. the Program)
The robot’s sensors and its movements are linked together by the program, which could be called the WonderBorg’s "intelligence".
For example, you could program the WonderBorg as follows: "if either antenna sensor reacts, turn four steps to the right " and "if there is nothing there, move forward (advanced)". In this case, the WonderBorg will change direction when it bumps into an obstacle, as shown in the illustration below. If none of the Sensors are activated, the WonderBorg will walk forward.
To make the WonderBorg Change direction when it bumps into an obstacle:
Example:
-If either antenna sensor reacts, turn four steps to the right.
-If there is nothing there, move forward.
Programming
Nothing there, so advance forward
Antenna touched object, so turn 4 steps to the right
Nothing there, so advance forward
How to Make the WonderBorg Work
1.Assemble the WonderBorg
2.Connect the Interface
3.Install Robot Works on your PC
4.Use Robot Works to create a program
5.Transmit your program to the a WonderBorg
6.The WonderBorg will move.
