And what else can I do?

Not finished yet
Was that everything? No, of course not. The experiments
and models you tried out in this booklet should only be the
beginning. Your "first attempts to walk" so to speak in the
gigantic and exciting realm of "ROTBOTICS".
Fantasy
What we have shown you here is only a very small portion
of the possibilities offered by your ROBOTICS TXT Controller
and the fischertechnik components. And now it is your turn.
You can give your fantasy free rein and simply build what
you feel like.
Changing the
If you don't have any ideas for your own complete
present
model then just take a look at the models in this booklet.
Perhaps something will occur to you how to build a model
differently. Or you can change the function of a model.
Drawing machine
For example you could fasten a pen to the mobile robot, so
that it can be moved up and down allowing it to write on
a large piece of paper while the robot is moving across it.
Then you can draw the figures the robot moves through.
This turns your mobile robot in to a drawing machine.
Racing with
You can also use a thick felt-tip pen to draw your own
friends
obstacle course on a piece of paper and have the robot
move through it. And if your friends have a ROBOTICS
TXT Controller, you can do even more interesting things.
You can run races to see whose robot can master a given
obstacle course faster. And, in addition to allowing your
PC to communicate with the ROBOTICS TXT Controller,
the Bluetooth interface can also be used to connect a
number of computers with one another. Then, for example,
you could program two robots, to react to one another.
Or dance with each other. A great deal of interesting
information on this subject is given in Chapters 4.5 and 7 in
the ROBO Pro Help.
