Example text

There is no rule for the way in which you connect motors to ports, but I would recommend that you decide on a “standard” method for connecting motors and stick with it for all robots you build. As an example, look at Figure 4-3. When I build a robot I always connect the motor on the left side of the Brick (with the Brick’s sensor ports on the bottom and motor ports on top) to Port B and the motor on the right side of the Brick to Port C. I always use Port A for my third motor. If I build a robot that doesn’t need a third motor, Port A is always left open.

Configure the motor ports to monitor and record. The last item you will need to configure is the amount of time (in seconds) you wish to record your bot’s movements (see Figure 5-6). You can type in the number of seconds you want to record or click the up and down arrows with your mouse to select the number in the Time section. Figure 5-6. Enter the number of seconds to record in the Time section. You can record anywhere from one second up into the hundreds of minutes. Is this realistic? Not really.

By the time you finish this chapter, you should understand the importance of program structure to you and your robots. What Do I Mean by Structure? In Chapter 1, I gave you some examples of real-world programs. Would the following example have made any sense? Teacher: Class, open your books to page 55. ] Teacher: Class, I want you to get out your math books. ] How can you read page 55 if you haven’t yet been told which book to open? You might answer, “Yes, but I’m in math class, and the teacher said turn to page 55.
