Robot RACES
STEM ROBOTICS
WELCOME!
You and your team have just been employed by a new automotive company called Testa. You have been asked to design and build the program for a robotic vehicle which can self navigate its way through a complex track and perform specific tasks as it travels through checkpoints. This robot is a prototype and not to scale. As engineers and programmers you must ensure the vehicle functions correctly, is able to complete the required tasks and is safe.

Your project must include:
- Individual Folio:-
- Completed introductory robotics challenges with supporting math challenges featured in the mission manual (student workbook).
- Diary of reflection on your learning.
- A group design folio must include:
- Design Brief
- analysing needs (design situation) * problems and opportunities.
- establishing criteria for success.
- Research:
- Inspirational research: existing robotics examples
- technical research: costing, robotics types, methods for controlling, movement options, material, power source.
- Generating creative ideas (brainstorming):
- Individual students develop and design different ways to program the robot vehicle's movement on any given track.
- Students collaboratively share their ideas and decide on the best design option by using a checklist (criteria for success).
- Student groups write down the final design idea with a logical justification.
- Communicating ideas:
- Video logo/presentation;
- Pseudocode;
- Experimenting and testing ideas;
- Introductory robotics challenges;
- Ongoing math lessons;
- Ways to test based on inspired teacher model ( math lesson) (i.e. weights) data logging and analysing results;
- student ongoing testing.
- Producing design solutions
- Production modify robot for design brief
- Evaluating ideas and solutions
- Peer evaluation
- Video journal
- A completed and functional robotic tool which fulfils the required design brief and purpose.
- Design Brief
