Unit 04

Running the Robot

By the end of this unit you can start the robot from either door, give a subsystem a command that always owns it, bind a button to the behavior it actually means, and compose an autonomous out of the commands you already wrote.

With your school Google account. This is how your work reaches the gradebook — it doesn't open the unit by itself.

2 Get in

Open the class link your teacher posted — that's the usual way, and it enrolls you on the spot. Or paste an access key if you were handed one.

A key unlocks this browser and keeps your progress here; signing in keeps it with you across devices. Either way the key itself is only ever checked as a hash. Manage all of this on your account, read what signing in stores, or go back to Robotics Programming.
