> Next you will spend some time with Pro-Bot. His advanced functions include
100 step programming, commands that appear on a LCD screen and bumper
sensors to ensure safer navigation. He even has a built in pen up/down
mechanism that will allow you to program him to create art!

> will allow us to program with pinpoint accuracy. Roamer
> can travel in any direction; turn in both small and large
> increments and even create music!
> Once we are comfortable with these programming techniques we will break
into teams and have a robot challenges. We will construct overpasses,
garages and other obstacles for our robot friends and see who can meet the
challenges of our programming!
