Teamwork in action: UMS robotics challenge
Teamwork in action: UMS robotics challenge
Union Middle School students developed collaboration and communication skills through exciting robotics challenges. The current building challenge requires the class to design a robot that optimally uses a four-bar-lift to move and stack cubes. Members of each team will need to work together, and there isn't much time to complete this task. In only three class periods, teams will build an entirely functional robot consisting of a chassis, a manipulator, and an implement. Each member must clearly communicate ideas and collaboratively break down tasks to win the challenge.
