Engineering H193 - Team Project Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 4 Spring Quarter 2007 General Guidelines for Flowchart / Pseudocode Assignment List the actions that the main program is going to execute and consider: –General flow of logic –Decisions to be made –How to provide any needed input to the robot when preparing to start robot List variables that you will use and identify which would be "global" variables (if you know)

Engineering H193 - Team Project Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 5 Spring Quarter 2007 General Guidelines for Flowchart / Pseudocode Assignment List the movements and actions that the robot must do to accomplish tasks – drive straight (forward and backward), turn left 90 degrees, turn right 90 degrees, raise arm, pick up object, lower arm, deposit object, encounter obstacle, etc. Will these movements and actions be your functions? Will they be a combination of your functions and IC functions?

Engineering H193 - Team Project Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 6 Spring Quarter 2007 Guidelines for Functions List the functions that your team will write What are the IC functions that will be used in your team’s functions? What types of input will your functions need? What type of output will your function provide? Review last week's lecture on Tips for Writing Robot Code
