For the next tutorial, I again used the directions to build the machine, and did the programming myself. The Ball Sorter uses two motors, the color sensor, and two touch sensors, according to the directions. I found it necessary only to use one of the touch sensors. The object is to have the machine dispense each ball and sort them appropriately by color into the bins. Here's the video!

Gatorbot
The next tutorial was the Gatorbot...not especially an exciting one, so I'm glad to be done with it. Basically the robot will lunge forward at an object closer than 60 cm, begin biting at it when it is closer than 20 cm, then retreat for a period of 6 seconds. Unfortunately the feet don't grab hold of the tile flooring so the gator doesn't move all that well backwards. Here it is!
