Concept - Flash(light)

If you're scared to enter a dark room and you need someone to light the way, Flash will come to the rescue!


Flash moves around on wheels. A color sensor is attached to her right arm. When the color sensor senses a dark color, her face (EV3) will light up. A distance sensor is attached to her left arm to avoid running into objects.

I also wrote some pseudocode of some simple directions Flash could perform. Nothing too fancy, I was just doing it for fun and for practice because I want to study computer science in college.


Flash is named Flash because she's a flashlight and it's easy to remember. This idea came to me while I was thinking about some folks diagnosed with PTSD I met a few months ago. They had service dogs search their house before entering. Not everyone can afford service dogs so I hope I can pass on this idea to people who might be interested in making this happen. Maybe I'll be one of them...
