Archer RoboticsIn this course, the kids will learn how to program the basic robot movements (forward/backward/turning) and use some sensors to find a line and detect when hit something. The focus is on implementing their ideas, troubleshooting any problems, and then making improvements. The kids should be coming up with their own ideas for completing the task. In other words, besides the building the initial robot, there are purposefully not a lot of examples.

Programming• Demonstrate how to program the robot to go forward/Backward/Spin Right/Spin Left
• Informing the robot how far to go (time, degrees, rotations) |
Sensors• Program the robots sensors “detecting collision” using the touch sensor and navigate a course.
• Using the light sensor write a line follower program then navigate a course. |
Building• Work to build programs and to complete tasks
• Build robots in different configurations performing tasks on a simulated course. |
Teamwork• Work in teams to program
• Form teams to build and complete tasks • With teamwork compete in competitions for bots |
