---+ Time to be an actor
---++ Objectives
   1 Be creative
   1 Build a complex program using a lot of techniques from before
---++ Assignment
   1 Pick a scenario for your robot.  Some possible ideas include:
      * Traffic officer directing traffic
      * Crossing guard
      * Tour guide
      * Security guard
      * Delivery robot
      * Warehouse robot
      * Game show host
      * Dance instructor
      * Pet performing tricks
   1 Come up with a script for your robot with a series of actions. It should include at least:
      a. At least two different sets of motion. Each set needs to have two places where it is performed. 
         * For an example, a set could involve turning around. 
         * Then the robot would need to perform that at least twice.
         * Each set needs to include at least three different blocks.
      a. At least two different motions for your third motor. 
         * One motion could be something like waving a flag up. 
         * Each set needs to be used at least two different times.
      a. have a least three different "speeches" your robot does.
      a. have the script vary based on input from the environment. 
         * For example, if the touch sensor is pressed it does movement a otherwise it does movement b. 
         * There should at least three different optional movements.
   1 Write your script out formally as an outline
   1 Create a clean program that will implement your script

      a. How well you achieve each objective. Include a discussion about how pair programming went.
   1 Submission:
      a. Team member A submits the team's code and his/her pdf document in one zip folder.
      a. Team member B submits his/her pdf document (does not need to be zip'ed)

---++ Hints
   1 Creativity will not be graded. Your robot can be a boring actor. That is fine. Start with a boring actor and then make a creative script if you have time and the desire.
