In this elective students will develop analytical and problem-solving skills in the context of robotics, electronics and control circuitry. Students are introduced to the world of robotics using LEGO robots along with basic skills and knowledge in electronics, soldering and programming.
Theory topics include; an introduction to simple control systems, mechanical power and its transfer, identification and anatomy of robots, technological systems used in the construction of basic robots and an understanding of computer-controlled technology.
Practical use of CAD/CAM technology, construction and control of LEGO Robots, construction of a Programmable LED Tower will be undertaken. Production of simple robotic devices will enable robotic challenges such as racing, wrestling and hill climbing.
