Objectives:
In this unit you will work with the REV Electronics and Control System to provide computing power, motor control, and sensors to the Training Robot. Then you will return to the Unit 01 Lessons on Java to write Autonomous and Driver Control Routines. After the FTC game is released, we will modify the electronics and control system to meet the engineering challenges of the game.
