Project: NASA is in the market for a new planetary rover to explore the recently discover
planet Husky-3. You are required to construct and test a robot that is capable of following
a set of commands to explore the planet's surface. Before the robot is deployed, it must
be extensively tested to ensure it will perform as expected. You can't fly a technician to
Husky-3 to reboot the robot!
Before we send our robot into space, we must first test it thoroughly here on earth. Run
the following experiments and observe how your robot behaves. Do not move to the next
experiment until your teacher has seen your current experiment.
Vocabulary
Pseudocode:
Flowchart:
is a detailed yet readable description of what a
computer program or algorithm must do
A flowchart is a visual representation of the sequence of
steps and decisions needed to perform a process
