For this challenge we made a robot that roams around in the dark, but when the light comes on, it runs away.
The Programming
This is the "false" condition. When the light is off, the robot drives and turns. It checks the light level every 0.3 seconds.
The Programing
When the light is on, the robot moves in a straight line at 100% speed. It checks the light level every 0.3 seconds.

1. State the assignment (problem/project) in your own words.
2. What are your input factors? (What do you need to know or do before you can begin?) Include the research you did.
3. Describe the process in detail. Explain the steps you followed in order to complete the project.
4. Describe the final output / product in detail: (what are we looking at?)
5. Describe feedback you received during the project (suggestions, comments, etc). From peers, instructor ect.. How did you use this feedback to correct issues with your project?
6. What did you learn during the assignment such as tools, skills, design concepts, software, hardware, etc? ,
7. If you were to do the project again, what would you do differently and why? Provide reasons and examples
1. Make a robot that is "nocturnal." It moves around in the dark, and runs away in the light.
2. We needed to know how to use a light sensor to opperate the robot.
3. After putting a light sensor on the robot, it was all programing. After programing we realized that the light sensor was not responding to light. I found that the LED light on the sensor was interfering with the light readings. We turned the LED off and the sensor worked.
4. The robot worked according to the program.
5. Mr. Croke helped me with new componants of the prgraming such as the "greater or Equal" function.
6. I have a better understanding of programing.
7. I would keep the LED light off this time as I now know it interferes with the light sensor very much
