YESCI 275 - Obstacle Course Mayhem: Build Your Own Bot (Age 10-12)

Move beyond Mindstorm with a new robotics design! Time to put all your engineering and programming skills to the test! The robot is equipped with Bluetooth and 2.4GHz transmitter, ultrasonic transceiver module, dual light level detector for line tracing, microcontroller and Arduino boot loader (preloaded and ready to use!). Get creative as you come up against increasingly difficult obstacle courses and class competitions. But don't worry, you'll add new programming techniques to your arsenal as you overcome the challenges awaiting you. Explore several programs and projects using micro controllers and multiple sensors while having fun in an innovative environment. Using line-tracers and sensors, your bot will utilize advanced techniques within a unique version of Scratch to help you achieve your robot goals. And the best part? At the end of the week, you get to take the robot home! Co-sponsored with Learning Through Robotics.
