ACTIVITY #3: A MORE RESPONSIVE SHADOW CONTROLLED BOE-BOT
By eliminating the

Bot significantly more responsive. This wasn't really possible with the whiskers, because
the Boe-Bot had to back up before turning since it had already made physical contact
with the obstacle. When you are using shadows to guide the Boe-Bot, it can check
between each pulse to see if the shadow is still detected regardless of whether it's moving
forward or executing a maneuver.
A Simple Shadow Controlled Boe-Bot
One interesting form of remote control is to have the Boe-Bot sit still in normal light,
then follow a shadow you cast over the photoresistors. It's kind of a user-friendly way of
guiding the Boe-Bot's motion.
Example Program – ShadowGuidedBoeBot.bs2
When you run this next program, the Boe-Bot should stay still when no shadow is cast
over its photoresistor dividers. When you cast a shadow over both photoresistors, the
