The purpose of this class is to introduce students to the amazing field of Robotics. In this class students will be using the First Robotics Competition (FRC) to learn design and planning using Autodesk Inventor, programming using basic and Arduino software, engineering practices to build a robot and compete at the FRC competition.
In this course students will continue to advance their programming skills using Lab View. This course will also increase your drafting skills using Autodesk Inventor Professional. Other lab activities you could expect to learn about are: 3-D printing, pneumatics, electronics, and CNC controlled mills and lathes.
In this course students will primarily focus on chassis design, chassis development, and building chassis. Other activities may include wiring your chassis to drive. Students will also use Lab View to hone their programming skills.
