FLL Robotics Team Prep

About this event

Each class will focus on a specific topic and the students will have a challenge to complete at the end of the class. For example, when learning about gears, their challenge will be to build a gear ratio for their robot to climb an incline and see what they can change to make their robot climb the steepest incline. At the middle of the session and at the end, we will host an olympics style tournament for some friendly competition. Students will take what they learned during the semester and build a robot to solve the challenges as quickly or efficiently as possible, and survive the battle ring. We will encourage them to work in pairs during the competitions to continue practicing their core values and teamwork skills. Team Prep Curriculum: → Gears, gear trains → Changing motor direction → Gyro sensor (straight code, accurate turns) → Line following → Strong bases → Building techniques to make an attachment or base strong → Learn and use sensors to solve a maze → Attachments that can collect and carry items This class allows students to be at an advanced level when they return in the Fall for the new FLL Robotics Season.
