Added Bumper to Tribot
Last night I continued on with the getting started robot by
adding the bumper with the touch sensor. The bumer is a bit
bulky, but it does work pretty reliably. It's the first sensor
you add while building the Tribot. Interesting bumper design,
using a small gear to connect with the button of the sensor.
Want to add some pictures, but still getting used to my new
computer, so that will have to wait...
Programming is easy - adding one more block to the two I had
to move the robot forward, then back. It's essentially a "Wait Until"
block of old, but you wouldn't know that from looking at the block.
Maybe over time I'll get used to reading the programs by looking
at the blocks.
