Task #1 – Spinning Sign
A marketing firm has determined that more customers will enter a shop if the sign is neat and eye-appealing. To increase business, you decide to design and build a spinning sign with a catchy title for outside your shop. To conserve energy, you must install a stop switch for the sign when the business is closed.
Task # 2 – Toll Booth
Mission: The local airport needs to place a toll booth gate at the exit. One sensor will be needed to open, and one to close, the toll booth gate. A red light should be on when the gate is down or moving. When the vehicle goes through the intersection the gates will be up and the light will be off.
Task #3 – Freight Elevator Challenge
Your job requires you to deliver parts to various floors of the factory. Since a lifetime of climbing up and down stairs doesn’t sound attractive to you, you seek an alternative. Luckily, you have found a solution to this problem. Before a full-sized freight elevator can be built, a fully functioning scaled model must be built.
Task #4– Stay on Course
In this challenge your team will design, build, and program an autonomous vehicle that follows a ½ in. black line
