TRASH PUSHER

Build a robot that can push trash to a safe disposal zone.

Sweeping Robot

V-shaped trash collector

Powerful Pusher

Think Like an Environmentalist:

How can you make your robot work with trash of different sizes and shapes?

Think like an Engineer:

How can you make your robot drive easily through different types of spaces?

Modify It

• Try changing the speed and angle of the sweeper — does that change how much trash it can push? �
• Increase the number of times the for loop runs - what happens? �

​

Sweeper Code (Moves broom back and forth): ��#Define variables/motors/sensors�ev3 = EV3Brick()�motor=Motor(Port.A)�i = 0�#Move motor back and forth�for i in range(0,5):� motor.run_angle(250,100)� wait(10)� motor.run_angle(250, -100)

​

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Create a base for your pusher

Attach a contraption to your base to help push the trash

Can you add a sensor to your robot so it knows when to stop pushing?
