ROBOTICS

Semester - 0.5 credit

Sophomore/Junior/Senior

Prerequisite: None

 

In this Robotics class, students will build a mechanical robot structure, electrically wire the robot, and also program it to compete in several autonomous and remote control class challenges. Although we cannot predict the future with regards to technological advancements, we can know that many advancements and future careers will rely upon the integration of electronics, microcontrollers, programming, and engineering design topics that are introduced through this course. Students do not need to have any background knowledge or other previous classes to take this course. Likewise, although we encourage students to take advantage of opportunities within the FIRST Robotics extracurricular team, participation on this team is not a requirement for this course and has no bearing on class success.
