For example, make a robot and place the
Brightness Sense block so its sensor face
points down. Now it doesn’t see the light. This
Gobot is a Nogobot. No matter how bright the
room is, the robot won’t go. Its Brightness
Sense block doesn’t sense the light.
Try placing the Brightness Sense block to face
in different directions. How does that impact
the robot’s behavior?
9. Stability
Some robots are more stable than others.
These robots all have a Distance Sense block
and a Drive Action block, but the differences in
their assembly produce different behaviors.
Try building a simple Gobot with a Distance
Sense block and a Drive Action block. It’s
stable if you build a train with all three blocks
(the Battery block, the Drive Action block, and
the Distance Sense block) arranged in a row.
The Distance Sense block produces a big
number when something gets near it. You can
chase this Fraidybot around with your hand.
When you get near the Fraidybot, it runs away.
