Lab #2 Student Robot Block Diagram/FlowChart Exercise

In-class Exercise:

• Students will create a block diagram of a program for students, starting from sitting in the chair to opening the classroom door.
• Once the block diagram is complete, other students will behave as student robots, and they will follow the instructions you made.
• Check if student Robot is able to understand your instructions.
• All the teams in the class should now have a chance to see the Me Robot execute their program.  Remember that the Me Robot cannot do anything other than the instructions and knows nothing more than what you have commanded it—he/She/they may crash into walls, etc.
