The new Obstacle course

The obstacle course which we will do next week will not be easy. We have to guide the robot through a course filled with obstacles. This will be hard because we have to use all four of the NXT's sensors in this course. The sensors are the touch sensor, the light sensor, the sound sensor and the ultrasonic sensor.
THe course starts of with a clap. We will have to gather our threshold value for the sound sensor. the robot will then move. The hard part is when we have to make it stop in the box. we might have to put the light sensor in the back of the robot. To make it wait therefor 5 seconds, i will put a wait for block. Then the robot will turn and there will another obstacle(a table). We will have to turn the robot before it hits the table. The ultrasonic sensor will cometo place here. Then there will be the final obstacle which will be to destroy 2 cans. I think that we will have to have a sort of mini toy gun to shoot them away.

Pretty good description, I like your idea of destorying the cans instead of dodging them. 10 points for you.

It will be hard to make the shot actually hit the target as the sensor has a big field of view

Good plan, simple but effective. In theory, it should work! Great blog post.
