Dash & Dot
|
|
The first thing you need to do for this stage is attach both parts of the launcher accessory to Dash. See the picture below. Just like the xylophone accessory, these parts need to be attached properly in order to work. You'll know you have it attached correctly when Dash is able to activate the launcher by looking up.
Once you have properly attached both parts of the launcher accessory, turn on both Dash and Dot and then open the Blockly app.
Obviously, from here, you need to program a sequence of events that uses the launcher. This sequence should also consist of some movement from Dash. Finally, you need to make sure that you use at least three 'Wait for' blocks (these are found in the 'Control' category). Using these blocks, you can make Dash pause and wait for something to happen before continuing with the sequence. Dash can wait for things like claps and voices, and can also wait until something happens involving Dot. Have a look at all of these options and be creative!

Just like before, you need to record a quick video on your video camera to document what you have done in this stage. At the beginning of the video, one of the group members will state exactly what Dash is supposed to do and then you will record the robot doing just that. If it does not work properly, then you will need to push the stop button on the camera, delete the video, figure out what went wrong and then try again.
