In this lab we are going to be trying to build some Turing Machines. We're going to do this in the context of a game, called Manufactoria.

In the game, the robots use an input tape containing red and blue circles to reach some goal (equiv. to our 1's and 0's!). You add decision blocks to the board for whether the circle is blue or red - something we also do in TMs. This is really an exercise in graphically building TMs, and hopefully a fun way to do that!

Play this game for the remainder of the laboratory period, getting as far as you can. Submit via email a Word document containing screenshots of the screen which shows your puzzle passed all tests for each puzzle you complete. Also include a screenshot of the main page which shows how many puzzles you have completed.

An example submission is below for someone who only completed the first puzzle:

This lab is due at the end of the lab period.
