Wall Bouncer

Project Name: Wall bounce
Controlled by: Programmed
Programming Difficulty: Easy
Construction Difficulty: Easy
General Comment. This is a great introduction to basic construction and programming

Rules FOR STUDENTS


​You must use:
-1 NXT or EV brick
-2 motors
-1 touch sensor

You must:
Build a robot that can travel to a wall, hit the wall, then come back. 
It must start behind the start line, and finish by crossing the same line. 

Tips For students


Tip: Cars with four wheels will go straighter. Especially if both motors turn one axel.
Tip: Cars that use gears will go faster. A big gear on the motor and a small gear on the wheel will make the wheel turn faster. To use gears, the wheel's axel can't go through the motor's hole.
​

SAMPLE PROGRAMMING

TEACHER INFO


The distance between the line and the wall can be whatever you like. The smaller the distance the more success the students will have. I recommend 4-6 metres.
​​Grading option: The quicker the time, the better the grade.
