  1. TUTORIALS

F. Detect Other Conditions

In this sixth tutorial, you'll learn how to make your robot detect other conditions (e.g., surface drop-offs, the robot's pitch and roll, when the robot is upside-down, when the robot is bumped, etc.) using its IR line sensors and accelerometer.

Tutorial Goals

The goals of this tutorial are to help you:

  • Program a robot app that uses the IR line sensors to detect a surface drop-off

  • Program a robot app that uses the accelerometer to measure the robot's pitch and roll

  • Program a robot app that uses the accelerometer to detect if the robot is upside down

  • Program a robot app that uses the accelerometer to detect if the robot has been bumped
