Roving on Hills with the PASCObot

In this investigation students experiment with the PASCObot to find out how it responds to climbing a hill. They experiment with the accelerometer to learn how to use it to detect hills. They program it to slow down when going uphill. Students learn how to make a list of acceleration values in their code so they can be averaged.
