What we did for this unit was we learn how to program a Boe bot. We were given pattern challenges that we had to program the Boe bot to do.
With the help on this link, it help us guild through this assignments.

An example:
Before we program the boe bot, we had to program LEDs on the Boe bot.
Our task was to:
1. Create a counting loop that displays a 10 second countdown sequence
2. Connect the 2 LED's test circuit as directed on figure 2-4, page 48 of the Robotics student guide.
3. Create a program that will flash the 2 LEDs alternately:
- With a 2 second delay for 8 seconds
- With a 1 second delay for 8 seconds
- With a 0.5 second delay for 8 seconds
- With a 0.25 second delay for 8 seconds
- After that, we had to program our boe bot wheels. We have to find certain numbers for our boe bot Servo Motors. This is because each Boe bot is different. We than have to explain the behaviour of the Servo motor. We had to find our Boe bot, Stop point, its Left turn, Right turn, going forward, and going backward. When we finish, we were given the task to:
"You must have the robot precisely trace an S pattern made of 1-foot segments using subroutines exclusively, with start & stop movements 'ramped up' and 'ramped down' accordingly " and also go through a made up pattern given by our teacher.
