The class is 5 days long and is divided up into
sections to help the students become familiar with
the basics of robotics. Individual help is given
throughout the course to each student as needed
during each phase. During each days class the
students are given the opportunity to do physical
activities. Some of these are organized group
participation and some is just a chance to "blow off
some steam"
Day 1: Introduction to the lego mindstorm system.
Begin building each individual robot. Normally there
are two students per robot kit.
Day 2: Building and construction continues with
additional components added to aid the robot in
navigation on it's own (autonomic mode).
Day 3: Begin introducing the students to the practice
maze. Begin overview of programing using the computer
and wireless connection to the robot.
Day 4: Refine adjustments with robots sensors
practice navigation through maze using input from
student. Also practice navigation through maze in
programable mode.
Day 5: Graduation. Students must demonstrate there
ability to operate the robot through a maze and there
individual robots ability to navigate on it's own in
autonomic mode through the maze.
