Parking on its own
We’ve already programmed our mBot to do all kinds of things on its own. We’ve made it drive by itself, clean up its room, bring drinks...
This time, we’ll teach it how it can park on its own. Search for the perfect spot, and with just one click of the button, the mBot will drive to its spot.
You have 40 minutes to program your robot.

What you'll learn:
- Programming the buttons on the remote.
- Look for a different solution depending on the situation.

What you need




STEP 1
Exercise
Before you can start, you need to set the course. We chose to use two mBot boxes to indicate the parking space. But you can use whatever you want.
Challenge a friend.
Who will park their mBot the best?
To do:
- Let your mBot drive like you did in lesson 2 or lesson 5.
- Drive your mBot next to the parking space.
- Click on a button of your remote and let the mBot park on its own.
- Click on another button, and your mBot will leave its parking space.
- You'll have to program the remote yourself. (So you can’t use the standard program)
- You get 40 minutes to write the program and to optimise it.

Extra
You can add as many assignments as you’d like. We’ll list a few, but try to use your imagination.
- Make the parking space as small as possible. How small can you make it?
- Park between 2 mBots. If you touch the mBots when parking, their alarms will go off.
