Course description

Introduction to Robotics (P) Introduction to Robotics is a project-based lab science class targeted at introducing the interdisciplinary field of Robotics. Students will learn the fundamentals of programming a robot to complete specific tasks. They will learn the mechanics required to build a robot and the different intake and outtake systems to perform tasks. They will be introduced to power and gearing fundamentals that enhance speed or strength of the robot. Students will use sensors to find and identify objects necessary to complete tasks. Throughout they will be expected to document their studies and ideas in an engineering notebook similar to what professional engineers do on a daily basis. Students will work on a VEX Robotics based platform to explore these concepts; build the mechanical structures; and create the code to drive their robot through the given tasks.
