MOMS

Shocker MINDSTORMS Challenge

MOMS (Multiple Opportunities for Multiple Sensors)

Apprentice Mission (Beginner and Beginner II Teams)

Description:

Arrrggg! The Pirates have set sail once again, can you help them navigate these rough waters?

Starting on the top of the hill, you must reach the edge of the world following the line. Push the enemy pirate ship over the edge of the world before returning back over the hill. You must then navigate the rough seas, avoiding obstacles and making it to the finish area.

This slightly modified MOMS course can be completed in many ways using multiple sensors (light, color, touch, ultrasonic), or even by counting rotations. Starting on top the bridge, you choose the way to follow the path, climb the bridge, and find the yellow squares, without touching walls!
