feedback & control.
After lots of building and tinkering with actual physical objects, we're now moving into a less physical (but equally exciting) block of EXTD160...
programming!
Using Picoblocks, an interesting, and very visually pleasing programming language, we are now writing programs for cyborgs... All named after disney princesses of course.
Meet Pocahontas.
She's very persistent. Well, we programmed her that way.
In the above video, we played around with the touch sensor; We programmed our cyborg to move forward until the touch sensor was activated; then we told it to back up for a small amount of time before heading forward again. Pretty useless program, but it was amusing. We changed it up a bit afterwards though, commanding Pocahontas to back up and then turn for a little bit after hitting something.
