Robotics
The field of robotics has exploded in recent years. This is in large part due to increasingly smaller circuitry and thus more powerful computational power. Capek (a Czech playwright) was the first use of the word "robot" in his 1921 play (R.U.R) about machine factory workers rebelling against their human masters. occurred in a play about mechanical men that are built to work on factory assembly lines and that rebel against their human masters. In fact robot is derived the root czech word for 'force labour' or slave.

Asimov, a Russian born US sci-fi author developed the concept of robots further and proposed a set of laws to govern robot behaviour
While we think of robots as modern inventions, in fact in some ways we've had robots since the Egyptian dynasties and throughout the ancient world were powered by everything from water, to springs (in the middle ages)
Through the modern era robots have been used to replace humans in increasingly sophisticated jobs
Assignment #12 - Robot Races (arduino)
Assignment #12 - Robot Races (arduino)
Race Rules
1. Only build at front desks (not at computers or at electronics area).
2. You can only use parts that are on your inventory list.
3. Robots cannot be bigger than 30cm by 30cm by 30cm.
4. Hands off once built (except for arduino based which can be controlled wireless if desired)
5. Students are to race out to a 10m line, cross and/or stop on it, then race back to the start line. The student(s) that crosses the start line again will be the winner of the competition
6. A maximum of 4 motors may be used. Two 6V packs can be used to power the motors. A 9V can be used to power the logic board.

Lego Rules
1. Only build at front desks (not at computers or at electronics area).
2. You can only use parts that are on your inventory list.
3. Individual time and distance competition
4. Controlling can be done however you want (sequenced code, sensors etc...)

Assignment #14 - Sumo Battle
Lego Rules
1. Only build at front desks (not at computers or at electronics area).
2. The competition is entirely hands-off
3. Bracketed Pairs and Battle Royale competitions for pushing each other out of the ring.
4. Winner is determined as 'last man standing'. Loser is the one that is pushed off/falls off. If both players fall off the board as a result of entanglement (or falls within 15s) it is a redo using the existing state of the robot.
5. If there is no win as a result of both robots being stuck/entangled/not-engaging within 30s it is a stalemate and both contestants re-place their robots at a 45deg. angle on their start lines
