COURSE VIDEO | COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Working in teams of two, students construct and program smart robots for navigation and manipulation using Graphical ROBOTC programming software. Students will also learn about basics of Gear Systems as well as effective Chassis and Attachment design concepts, how to test the functionality of their robots, problem-solve, etc.
In addition, the VEX IQ Robotics System provides for team driver/remote control navigation with a strong emphasis on structural & mechanical engineering design and performance. Incorporating actual competition requirements, student teams will also be encouraged to strategically collaborate – in real time – throughout their assigned team alliance matches.
Since students will be working in teams of two, campers may wish to enroll with a friend, relative, or VEX IQ Robotics teammate to specifically partner with. If this is the case, please note the requested partnership on the (required) Learning Styles Inventory Form posted below – thank you!
If your camper is entering Grade 4 in the Fall AND has been accepted to compete on a specific VEX IQ Robotics Team utilizing the VEX IQ Robotics System, please contact camps@vistateach.biz for consideration of being granted a “grade level enrollment exception.”
