Our Robot Idea

1) Robot's task: To reach the goal.
-It's path is blocked by a tunnel.
-If the robot detects it can go through the tunnel, it will proceed. Else it will go around it.

2) Robot's description:
-Robot provided(Lego Mindstorm)
-Sensors

3)Enviroment
- Classroom enviroment
- X by Y dimensional area containing the tunnel.
