Overview:
The goal of this lesson is to explore the use of Data Hubs, the equivalent of passing parameters in the Lego MINDSTORMS NXT-G program. Students will work through the "Data Hubs" video lesson from the "NXT Video Trainer 2.0" product from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy.
Objectives:
Student will be able to:
1. Write an NXT-G program for a robot incorporating data hubs and data wires
2. Write an NXT-G program for a robot incorporating the Random Block
3. Write an NXT-G program for a robot incorporating the Sensor Block
4. Control the response of a robot through the NXT-G Move Block data hub with data wires from the Random and Sensor Blocks
5. Control the real-time response of a robot using data wires and Loop Blocks
6. Explain the role of each plug on the data hubs of the Move, Random and Sensor Blocks
