| The Pit and the Pendulum This one’s difficult As submitted: The Pit and the Pendulum: (stair climber) A robot has to extricate itself from a pit of stairs. A pit is constructed of differing heights of steps and the LEGO robot is placed in the bottom, the robot can choose any path that the programmer sees fit and attempts to navigate the steps to reach the top within a predetermined time period (the Pendulum). While some steps are easily navigable there are other at various levels that will be quite high and thus out of reach, forcing the bot to find a better route. The steps can be colour coded (coloured electrical tape?) that would allow the bot to either test the height of each step or check the color for a known predetermined height and decide from there. The robot must be able to negotiate a variety of vertical and horizontal distances and can move around the landing to find the quickest route to the top. This is simply a variation on the stair climbing challenge, with stairs on all four sides with the challenge being can a robot be built that can accommodate the varying distances. |
