Robotics - Advanced
This lab-based course is a continuation of Robotics. Students will learn and apply principles of mechanics, electronics, and pneumatic. They will apply engineering principles as they design and build robots, construct their own sensors and connect them, and program the robots in the programming language. The class will incorporate several extensive projects.
Course Description: This course is aimed at the student wishing to design, build, program, and run autonomous robots. In this robotics course we will be using VEX EDR robot kits because they allow students to design and built more robust systems with a variety of motors and sensors. We will focus on robot design, use of sensors, and the relationship between program and behavior. This lab-based course is a continuation of Robotics.

Outcomes:
• Students will have a working knowledge of robotics and robot subsystems.
• Students will work independently and collaborate to solve problems.
• Students will use the engineering design process to develop a solution to a problem.
• Students will model, program, and record the results of testing their solution to the problem.
