Group Project: distance robot

This robot will go forward for a random amount of time and then display on the RCX screen the approximate distance it has travelled. It accomplishes this by using a touch sensor that is set off every revolution of the wheel. A container stores the amount of touches, and then the number is multiplied by the circumference of the wheel, to give the distance travelled. This is then displayed on the RCX. Grading will be based on how accuracy of your distance meter.
