Robot Brain Mission 10 - Make A Routine Pupil Notes

Create a short routine for your robot brain. A routine is a planned sequence that can be repeated.

In This Lesson

Mission 10: Make A Routine

Big Question

How can a robot remember a sequence of actions?

Your Mission

Create a short routine for your robot brain. A routine is a planned sequence that can be repeated.

Parts

Use parts from earlier missions:

  • LED
  • display or matrix
  • one sensor if you want a trigger

Plan

Choose three to five steps.

Example:

  1. Show READY.
  2. Blink twice.
  3. Wait for a hand nearby.
  4. Show GO.

Build

Keep the wiring tidy and use only the modules your routine needs.

Label the input and output in your notes.

Connect

  1. Press **Connect**.
  2. Test each action separately.
  3. Run the full routine.

Success Check

  • Your routine has at least three steps.
  • The steps happen in the correct order.
  • You can restart the routine and get the same result.

Debug

If the routine goes wrong:

  • Write the steps as a numbered list.
  • Test step 1 only, then step 1 and 2, then step 1 to 3.
  • Add a pause between actions so you can see what happens.

Remix

Make two routines:

  • greeting mode
  • warning mode

Switch between them using a sensor or message.

Robot Brain Idea

Sequences make robots useful. A robot vacuum, traffic light, or factory arm all follow routines made from small steps.
