    Introduction to Robotics -- Core

    Overview This beginning robotics course uses VEX EDR Robotics parts and RobotC software to introduce the student
    to basic programming as well as problem solving strategies. This course will involve students in the
    development, building and programming of robots to accomplish various tasks. Students will work hands-
    on in teams to design, build, program and document their progress. Topics may include motor speed, gear
    ratios, torque, sensors, program loops, project documentation and decision-making. For second semester
    projects, students are broken into teams of three. Each team has a project manager, a builder, and a
    programmer.
    Objectives • Design robots and use RobotC programming software for specific activities and scenarios
    • Use and analyze gear ratios, torque, timing, sensors, and program loops
    • Collaborate in groups and teams
    Assessment Students are assessed through quizzes and group projects focused on building design, programming, and
    project management skills.
