<b><u>Lab 8 – Tuesday, October 19, 2021</u></b>

Description: The final lab exercise using the original Lego robotic vehicle will be broken up over two lab sessions. This exercise will combine the components from previous labs.

Details:
   1 The vehicle will follow a black line.
   1 The vehicle will also be following the “leader” (the cuboid or another vehicle) which will be following the same line and will vary its speed slightly.
   1 Your vehicle must slow down if the leader gets to within 15 centimeters and speed back up if the distance increases again.
   1 If the leader gets to within 6 centimeters, have your vehicle stop moving. If the leader moves away, have your vehicle start moving again.
   1 If your vehicle runs over a red spot, it should stop.
   1 If someone (or something) runs into your vehicle from behind, it should sound an alarm (again please not too annoying, thank you!), spin around 180 degrees and stop.
   1 If the center brick button is pressed, have the brick say “Goodbye” (please at a low volume for everyone’s sake) and your vehicle should stop.
Components:
   1 You will need an ultrasonic sensor on the front of your vehicle.
   1 You will need a color sensor on your vehicle pointing down.
   1 You will need a touch sensor on the back of your vehicle facing out.
   1 Create your own block to follow the line.
   1 Create your own block to adjust the speed based on the “leader” movement.
   1 Create your own block to react to the touch sensor being pressed.
   1 Use parallel programming to deal with various stopping requirements.
Extra Credit:
   1 Have the display constantly update the distance between your vehicle and the “leader”.
