SO WHAT IS A ROBOT?
Lets look it up
Merriam-Webster:
machine that looks like a human being []
device that automatically performs [] tasks
mechanism guided by automatic controls
I can't define a robot, but I know one when I see one.

OUTPUTS
20
LED
a single color light source with

controllable brightness
Hint! The light color

matches the wire color.
21
...like a
miniature
colored light
bulb with a
dimming knob
USING AN LED
22
CONNECTION STEPS
1. Press little button on top with orange terminal tool

2. Wire should insert easily
If you have to push it hard make sure the button is all the way down
3. Release button to finish
23
TRI-COLOR LED
a red-green-blue (RGB) light

source which can produce many
colors
like the RGB

pixels of a TV or
computer screen,
the colors mix
together to make
different colors
24
USING A TRI-COLOR LED
25
LETS BLINK SOME

LEDS!
26
Select the port attached to your tri-color LED.

Then set the amount of red, green, and blue (0100).
Blue (0-100)
Port (1 or 2)
27
Red (0-100)
Green (0-100)
Two different colors should be separated by a

wait block (Control menu).
28
You can use a loop to make the LED blink. Dont

forget the second wait block!
29
SERVO
a limited range motor with controls for

specific angular positions
like an elbow
which can move
to different
angles through a
limited motion
range
30
USING A SERVO
31
LETS MOVE A
SERVO!
32
To use the HB servo block, select the servo port

and choose an angle (0-180). It can be helpful
to start with an angle of 90.
Port (1-4)
33
Angle (0-180)
Make a sequence that moves the servo back and

forth between two positions. Which blocks will
you need?
Can you make the LED blink as the servo moves
back and forth?
34
SOUND
We use computer speakers, theyre free!
Text to speech
Play sound files, or add your own!
Play notes
35
USING SOUND
Blocks on the Sound
menu and More
Blocks menu
Record your own sounds on the
Sounds tab!
36
Modify your previous expressions to add a note

for each position of the servo. Play your
sequence to make music as the servo moves
back and forth.
37
MOTOR
an electric motor with speed control that can

rotate in either direction indefinitely
like a fan
where you
can control
the blade
speed and
blowing
direction
38
USING A MOTOR
39
VIBRATION MOTOR
a small motor that causes a shaking motion
where you can control the intensity of
shaking
like the
vibrate
mode of a
cellphone
40
USING A VIBRATION
MOTOR
41
LETS USE MOTORS AND

VIBRATION MOTORS!
42
For the motor, you set the port and the speed of
rotation from -100 to 100 (0 = off).
For the vibration motor, you set the port and

the strength of vibration (0-100).
43
Write a script that turns the motor and vibration

motor on for five seconds and then off for five
seconds.
44
SENSORS
45
USING A SENSOR
Hint! Any sensor type can be used in any sensor port.
46
LIGHT SENSOR
a sensor that detects how bright the ambient light is
like in
walkway
lights that
turn on at
dark
47
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
a sensor that detects the temperature
like in
modern
digital
thermostats
48
DISTANCE SENSOR
a sensor that detects how far away something is
like in no
touch soap
dispensers
49
SOUND SENSOR
a sensor that detects how noisy the environment is
50
POTENTIOMETER
a sensor that detects how it has been rotated
like the volume

control knob on a
radio
51
PROGRAMMING A SENSOR!
52
The sensor blocks must be used within other

blocks.
Most blocks measure magnitude on a scale of 0 100 (arbitrary units), but distance is measured in
centimeters and temperature in degrees Celsius.
53
You can use a sensor to control a light or motor.
Can you control the motor with a light sensor?
54
Use a sensor block to make a decision!

What will this script do? Try it out!
55
The threshold is the point where the robots

decision changes.
Threshold
56
Write a sequence that moves a servo to one

position when it is dark and another when it is
light.
