The Trekker cleaning house, demonstrating the Trekker Sumo Kit. The program can be modified to change its reactions when it sees an obstacle (or enemy sumo bot), when the bumper switch is pressed, or when it sees the edge of the ring. This kit has 4 line sensors, one on each corner of the chassis. Notice what happens after a block is pushed out, it first avoids driving off the table while going forward, then it avoids having its back wheels from being spun off the edge. |

The Trekker Fire Fighter finding a fire and putting it out. The Trekker uses the Deluxe UV Flame Detector to locate the flame, then it turns the robot, fine tunes its heading, then drives towards the flame. Once a white floor is detected (common method for fire fighting) it turns on the fan and puts the flame out. |

A Full Trekker Navigator demonstrating how determined it is to travel a given heading. It stops at the edges, not by the proximity sensor, but from the wheel encoders indicating it has traveled the programmed distance. Then it takes its next heading. |
