Advanced Robotics

Code and solve numerous logical challenges, obstacle courses with the Lego EV3 Mindstorm, and Lego Robot Inventor.

A technology program that blends Coding with Hardware with a focus on iterative learning. A machine's reaction to code is not always consistent and students learn how to improvise and manage around machine imperfections when extracting desired behavior through Code.

Students integrate and code multiple sensors including touch, color, distance, gyro to solve creative challenges like the robotic vacuum, color code driven navigation, accelerating and decelerating car, and much much more.

A free form camp for beginners and advanced programmers to learn the fundamentals and complex algorithms of robotics and developing innovative movements, applications and solutions to challenges. Campers can expect challenges they have never seen before that can only be solved using their thinking cap. Challenges include those expected in tournaments like FLL, etc.

Technical Concepts: Lego Mindstorm

• Code using blocks and Python
• Control Motors and Sensors: Color, Distance, Touch, Gyro.
• Use sensor readings as triggers.
• Repeat and conditional loops
• Strategies of storing and using sensor readings to initiate complex actions.
