(a)	Program a device to make decisions (e.g., navigate a maze and stop when in a dead end or follow a wall around a room) using inputs from multiple ultrasonic sensors.
(b)	Provide examples of how ultrasonic sensors are used in manufacturing environments to automate process control and maximize efficiency.
(c)	Design and construct a device using multiple ultrasonic sensors to perform a task involving manipulating outputs (e.g., change movement based on inputs or alter direction of movement or reach out to touch an object).
(d)	Evaluate the usefulness of an ultrasonic sensor in various situations.

Makeblock mBot Educational Robot Kit. Explorer Kits

The mBot kit includes supplies to build and program an autonomous robot with coding abilities. It is based on a block coding system but also supports a text-based coding system using Arduino for more advanced users. This kit requires a software download for coding and is Bluetooth compatible for connection with smart devices with a controller APP download. This kit also requires batteries: either 1 3.7V DC Lithium battery or 4xAA batteries. Also available, for further extension using this kit are add on sensors and parts.
