Building my first robot (III) – Reacting to obstacles
This series reports on the first contact of 3 kids (7, 8 and 11yo) with a Lego Mindstorm robot construction kit in a workshop organized by University of Alcala (Spain) as part of the Alcabot 2011 event. After successfully building the robot, they have to program it using a graphical programming environment. This third video shows how the robot was programmed to measure the distance to obstacles using an infrared sonar and a sensor, thus avoiding obstacles by acting on its wheels.

After successfully building the robot, they have to program it using a graphical programming environment. This is the last video, where the kids finally succeed in programming the robot in a way that is aware of the sumo ring limits and avoids trespassing those limits by using the measures of its built-in light sensor. However, the attempt is not completely succcessful: it works ok when the robot turns on its right, but it doesn’t the other way round. Minor details given the short time devoted to the activity (one hour and a half) so… Well done kids!

What’s the difference between a motor module and a servo module for vex robotics?
We use vex robotic kits at school, and I know that there’s two kinds.
Is it that motor modules work continuously and servo modules have a limit to how much they work?
And also does anyone know the 6 components of any robot?
Thanks for your help.
