We began by rebuilding the robot, looking at the illustrations for the building instructions for *Express-Bot* [1, page 2] as well as the images provided in the lesson plan under *Building Instructions for a Base Vehicle*.

To solve this issue, we rebuilt the robot to extend the sound sensor further away from the robot by placing it on a pole. This could help in both cases: If motor noise was the cause, distancing the sensor from the motors would obviously help. And if vibrations were the cause, placing the sensor on a pole might help as the vibrations on the end of the pole should be of a lower frequency than those produced directly by the robot's motors and movement. The rebuild can be seen in Figure 2 and the result of running the program with this build can be seen in [TODO: ref]
