Scardy Cat Robot

scardy cat We wanted to build a scardy cat robot that went forwards and backwards. It should move forwards and backwards and keep going until the light sensor registers that it is now dark which means that it has bumped into something. It should quicky change direction when it does bump into something so it looks like it is afraid.
see our movie It just keeps on going, and going and going!
see our movie
It was a real challenge to get our scardy cat working properly. At first it just kept on going. We couldn't get the light sensor to work.
see our movie Eureka!
see our movie of it running away from a girl's hand.
This "Scardy-Cat" robot goes really quickly. The light sensor is supposed to make it back up if it sees anything
