Design, Develop, and Iterate on your Project - Text-based

Answer the following questions in your engineering notebook as you design your project.

  1. What type of robot dance will you create? Explain with details.
  2. What types of loops will you use and why?
  3. What steps will you follow to test the dance? Explain with details.

In order to help you plan, click here for a few example dance moves that you might include in the Clawbot's dance.

Follow the steps below as you create your project:

  1. Plan out the dance using drawings and pseudocode.

  2. Use the pseudocode you created to develop your project using VEXcode V5.

  3. Open the Clawbot Template (Drivetrain 2-motor, No Gyro) example project.

  4. Name the project GrooveMachine and select Save.
