Our Robotics students are On The Move! For this activity, students built and programmed a motor to spin a gear train. Once successfully completed, each group built upon that phase by assembling, wiring, and programming a system to complete a task. Their system in this scenario, an all-terrain vehicle prototype, had to meet the following requirements:
🤖Has four wheels.
🤖Moves autonomously.
🤖Includes forward movement.
With the teacher's help, students read and followed the instructions in the build guide parts list and instructions to complete their project.
