Lesson 6 Worksheet 6.3 – Dance in response to clapping

Using what you have learned in the previous two exercises create a dance routine where the robot responds to your claps.

You will need at least two dance manoeuvres, but you can add as many as you like. The above program has two single action manoeuvres. These two manoeuvers repeat because they are in a loop.

You can also try and add two manoeuvres per clap.

Alternative challenge

If you don’t want to program a dance, then you could create a short obstacle course that the robot drives in response to a clap and then returns in response to a second clap.

How many manoeuvers does your program have?

__________

Describe your robot’s dance or drive manoeuvres.
