Drive the Double Stack Train

LEGO CITY
April 2006

See if you can get the double-stack train moving
while you have a program running on SENSORSCITY.

Send programs to  SENSORSCITY.

- See Instructions-
The directory with Example programs to use at SENSORSCITY are on
 http://SENSORSCITY.marshall.edu/CITY/pages/vi/
 Click and save a file that ends in .vi to your computer to use to send a mission.
The RoboLab Programs are the files that end in .vi and the .jpg are pictures of the programs.
 Note:   The traffic goes between the Lamp on port A which is across from the light sensor on port 1.
 Monorail motor is on port B and touch sensors on both ends of the track are on port 2.
Port C changes.
Port 3 is a light sensor facing the train.
 

You will get data back.
The green line dips at each time the car passes a light sensor.
The red line steps up each time the touch sensor at an end of the monorail was touched.
The white line is the data back from the reflection from the train.

The challenge this month is to get the train to be moving
while the monorail is moving back and forth.
That will require that you run the Red Rover at http://lego.marshall.edu
at the same time.
To prove that you seceded, look at the graph of your data after running a mission.
If the white line goes up and down you did it.



Various parts of the CITY also operate when you run programs through http://lego.Marshall.edu

The rover on Mars South Pole http://lego.marshall.edu
is ready for Teleoperating.
Look closely to the back of the view through http://legocamera.marshall.edu
and you can see the rover move while you run programs through Red Rover.

The Mars Station South Pole
is housed in a room with a LEGO City
and
an OCEAN ODYSSEY field set up.
Some teams are having their FLL 2005 robot set up to run the missions
over the Internet by the rest of their team from various schools.
If you would like to run your bot or another stay tune for times
or email and arrange a time.

There are cameras that can view the action.
