I have this project and i need help programing the boe-bot. My problem is I need the robot to autonomously navigate a circle (black tapped perimeter) the circle has a diameter of 3 feet. the robot can't leave the circle. It also has the find a cube and push it out of the circle. I need help programing the robot with basic stamp2.
I was planning to use IR sensors, light sensors and a regular robot with wheels.
I just need someone to get me on track with with program.

Confirmed…PIR sensors are definitely not meant to be moved. They stay still and wait for a sudden change in the PIR pattern within their field of view.
Stephen,
What IR sensor would you be refering to that could see a cube....to be put on a robot. I had a similar application and was informed that it must be stationary.
Thanks,
RC

I was refering to the passive IR sensor·, totally different.
Thanks for clearing that up.

The IR-LED with IR-Reciever lets you detect reflected IR light from a close (< 10 inches) object. These are used ALL THE TIME in small robots for object detection and collision avoidance (the BOE-Bot has a lab on the subject).
Which sensor are you going to use for each job?·
Before trying to write your final program, it would be good to write small test programs to make sure each sensor can detect what it is supposed to.· Can you make an exact copy of the course you will be using, with the same black tape for the perimeter and the same size, color and material for the cube?·
If you are allowed to add any sensors, the QTI line follower appkit would really help:
