Rattle-Snake [First Project]

Our goal for the first project was to simply create a robot that would do something using the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0. We had a broad range to explore. We chose to build the rattle-snake. The difficulty level of this robot was 4, advanced. The program skill level was level 2. On this project, we spent most of our time building and not much on the program because it wasn't too complicated.

The rattle on the tail rattles repeatedly in a 12 sec. duration.

This is our robot rattle-snake. We modified the fangs because those parts were not in the set. We also modified some other parts. The program worked smoothly!

The rattle snake senses anything that moves in front of it. The eyes are the sensors. When the sensors are triggered it launches out and bites! 

It also senses how far the movement is so that it only goes out that far.
