Download the Orchestra Lite App for your iPhone or use one of the iPads to program an Altino car. lorettaromano2 https://padlet.com/lorettaromano2/zv8szrbw9dnyjuqt/wish/2166640857
Take a video of your car following the set of instructions you developed.
What do you need to do to
.....get your car to follow a straight line?
.....to alter the speed? ..
.....to stop?
Take a video of your car following the program you developed.

Extension (only if time available)
Use the URL above to START YOUR ENGINES and follow the programme to have your car complete a full circle.

Now think about what you would need to do to have the car complete a full figure 8. Try it out and video the attempt.
To what extent were you successful in providing the correct coding for the robotic car to follow?
