Objectives

1. Reinforce parallel programming skills
2. Enhance use variables
3. Experience the pair programming technique

Assignment

1. Create a clean program that will allow your robot to follow another robot along a track.
   1. The track will be a wide black line. The leading robot will follow that line.
   2. You are to say between 20 and 40 centimeters behind the other robot. The other robot may speed up or slow down random amounts.
   3. You may use the instructor's robot to see how the leading robot will do its task.
   4. Stop when you encounter red on the line.
2. Additional requirements
   1. All programming must be done following the simplified version of pair programming we covered in class.
   2. It must use parallel programming. One branch for following the line, one branch for staying the right distance, and a third branch to handle the red.
   3. It must use a variable to determine the speed of the motors.
