Rescuer Learn 1: The Template Notebook

To open this in Jupyter Notebooks, do the following:

The rescuer.ipynb notebook is populated with some code cells. Some are pre-populated for your convenience, some are empty. You will be writing the code for the empty cells.

Let's go over each cell so you are familiar with the anatomy of your notebook.

In the first challenge, you saw how to create an instance of the EasyGoPiGo3 class and name it. In the second challenge you practiced writing this setup code. 

This time, this code is written for you, assigning the name rescuer to your robot instance.

What is the name of your robot instance in this notebook?

You have been provided with some pre-written functions. These will allow you to perform some useful mission-related tasks without having to know precisely how they work.

A description of these functions, along with some example usage, is provided in the markdown cells within the notebook.

In this cell you will create two instances of these sensors (front-facing and left-facing) and tell your code which ports you plugged them in to so you can measure distances to the nearest wall in front of and to the left of our robot.

Later in the LEARN section you will write the code for this cell.

This cell contains an empty init() function where you can declare all your program’s variables and give them sensible initial values.

Where do you need to call the init() function?

This is the cell where you will write your project code.

You are now ready for the first build session : Rescuer Learn 2: Installing the Distance Sensors. It is needed now for the rest of the mission.
