Time for a challenge

Challenge #1

Attach the external motor to this robot on the top and build an arm that can hit the tennis ball. Now, perform the following setup:

Figure 16.5 – Route setup

Solve the following tasks:

  1. Follow the line until the first ball. Now, hit the ball and clear the robot's path to reach the next stop. Change the BOOST Hub color to red.
  2. Now, follow the line to the second ball and hit that ball as well. Change the BOOST Hub color to blue.
  3. Reach the stopping place and play a sound of your choice.

The robot must finish this challenge accurately each time. While following the line, you must focus on accuracy instead of speed, as the most important element in such cases is the accuracy of the tasks solved, followed by time. You can play around with the speed of this robot and see how quickly you can complete this challenge with the utmost accuracy.
