Light Sensor
For the following set of challenges we had to use a light sensor to acomplish the tasks at hand. By using the light sensor we had to find out the threshold value of the black electrical tape so that when we created the program we would able to use it so that our robot would follow the black line properly.
Activity A
For the first activity we had to create a program that had our robot move straight and then stop when it reached the black line infront of it. Once it reached the black line the motors would stop and a light on point B would turn on.

Activity B
For our second challenge we had to just slightly modify our robot so that we didn't have to drastically change the program. Our program originally had our robot stop when is saw the black line so we switched the wiring so that our robot would stop when is saw the white paper.

Activity C
For this third challenge it was a bit more difficult. We had to change our program so that it could follow a curved line. So we changed the programing to trun back and forth when it would see black then white. So the engines would alternate between the two different colors.
