Sharing your progress

You have made incredible progress with your robot buggy, turning it from an inanimate object into a robot that is able to sense the world around it and act upon this information.

Well done. Take a minute to congratulate yourself on the hard work and persistence you have shown throughout this course.

This is also a perfect time to share the progress you have made and any pictures or videos that you have of your robot in action. Describe your progress, and share a link to any image or videos you've taken of your robot, in the comments section below. You may need to use an image-hosting platform such as Imgur or a video-hosting platform such as YouTube.

Are you stuck with anything?

If you have any questions or are struggling with anything related to your robot buggy, leave a comment below and one of the course facilitators will provide help and support.

Next steps

In the next step you are going to write an algorithm for a basic line-following robot.

You already know that the line sensors can detect the difference between light and dark surfaces, and that this can be translated into a digital output of 0 (for a white surface) or 1 (for a black surface).

Think about the line-following algorithm and consider these questions:

What do you think the line-following algorithm might look like?
How should your robot react when the left sensor detects the line on your track?
How should your robot react when the right sensor detects the line?

Answer these questions in the comments section, either by writing the different stages of the algorithm as a list of instructions, or by creating a flow chart and posting a link to it.
