Part 1:

Challenge: Write a program which increases the power to the motors by 10% each time the button is pushed.

Create new number variable- POWER

Algorithm:

Loop

• wait for bump
• read value of Power, Add 10, update( write new) value of Power
• set Power of motors, beep
• Display Power #

End of Loop

Part II- Challenge: Write a program which increments Power in steps of 10; if Power> 100, resets to 0 ( and starts over)

• Loop
  • wait for bump
  • read value of Power, Add 10, update( write new) value of Power
  • Compare Value ( Compare Block)-is Power>100?
  • Switch( Value, Logic)-if Compare value True, reset Power to 0; if not , leave alone
  • set Power of motors, beep
  • Display Power #
• End of Loop
