pitsco PRIZM - Building Interlude: Make the Taskbot Smart

Building Interlude: Make the TaskBot Smart!
Up until now our robot has been good at following instructions, but it has not been
able to make any decisions. We know from the getting started activities that sensors
enable robots to sense the environment around them. We can give robots the
ability to make decisions based on the information that sensors provide, thereby
appearing smart.
In the next coding examples, we will attach sensors to the PRIZM TaskBot. We will
work though two examples using the Line Finder Sensor and two examples using
the Ultrasonic Sensor. Instructions for attaching sensors to the PRIZM TaskBot are
shown below.
Finished assembly should look like this.
