Mission of the projects

Week 1:

Our mission is to create a robot that can navigate a course that simulates exiting a damaged building (with line and ultrasonic sensors and bumper switches) and a robot that can locate survivors (using touch sensors, an infrared thermometer, and ultrasonic sensors)

Week 2:

Our mission is to create a sturdy truss bridge that is able to withstand the pressure of the stress of load (bricks).

Week 3:

Our mission is to create a circuit that can detect Covid, using LED's and an alarm system to render risk factors which show symptoms of covid(they include dry cough, high temperature, and oxygen levels)

Week 4:

Our mission is to design, build and launch a three stage model rocket capable of launching a CO2 capture device as well as a capacitor plane
