INTRO/OVERVIEW
• Consulted Parallax and other sources.• How to get the Boe- Bot to navigate the maze.• Navigate the maze and stop at the top of a ramp
in the course of three minutes.• Research: Which sensor combination would be
best to navigate the maze.

Research Question• Using any combination of the four sensors learned,
(Whiskers, Infrared LEDS, Photo resistors, and Accelerometers), navigate the maze in under 3 minutes.

Methods• We used a combination of the Infrared
LEDs and the accelerometer.• For programming we used an “IF…THEN”
statement in basic stamp.

Results• Due to broken parts and a lack of supplies we
were unable complete the maze.• Though with working sensors performed
favorably.

Discussion• Expected results were for it to navigate the maze
in 3 minutes.• Basically, to have it go through the maze without
getting stuck.• The IR LEDs ceased functioning the day of the
competition without reason. • Could improve with another kind of sensor.• For future prospects, would try to have more
sensors in case of failure.

Summary/Conclusions
• Conclusion- the Boe – Bot can navigate a maze independently.
• Though our Boe – Bot did not complete the maze it is evident from other teams success.

Future Directions
• For future trials attempt to have more sensors in case of sensors failure.
• Learn better ways to combine the programs of two sensors.
