SAMPLE PROGRAM FOR THE AUTOMATIC CATAPULT
This program tells the catapult to scan for objects with its sensor. When the sensor detects an object, the catapult will
fire. You will need to supply your own small, lightweight ball (like a foam ball or ping pong ball) or a ball of crumpled
up paper. Can you try to sneak past the catapult without it seeing you and firing off its defense mechanism?
This program is preloaded in the app under Program 1. Test it out and write down how the robot behaves for each
program segment below.
Warning. To avoid the risk of
injuries, do not aim at eyes or
face. Never launch heavy, sharp-
pointed, or sharp-edged objects.
Never launch any objects other
than those suggested (small,
light-weight balls).

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU BUILD
?
Now that you have built th
e eight
robotic machines in this kit
, can you
design your own robots an
d write
your own programs to con
trol them?
Use your imagination to th
ink up a
cool robot that uses the ult
rasonic
sensor to respond to its env
ironment.
