Design brief!
Task: 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.
You will need to:
1. Provide a brief statement of intent that outlines how you will address the design brief by describing what problems a robotic vehicle may face and explain how you intend to solve these problems. What are you going to do? This is to be no more than one or two paragraphs long.
2. Provide a short video diary that summarises the design process that you followed to build your robot (no more than 5 minutes).
3. Mathematics Task 2 - "Costing your robot", by filling in the Robot Costing Spreadsheet and include this as a printout.
4. Mathematics Task 3 - "Testing the capabilities of your robot", and include this as a printout
5. Building, testing and demonstrating your robot prototype.

Success checklist:
Steps to completing task successfully:
1) Refer to the assessment task and assessment criteria to ensure that you understand the expectations of the task and how it will be marked.
2) Research robot racing/competition concept.
3) Document your progress daily so you can successfully complete. Don't forget to include video evidence that can be compiled into a short video presentation.
4) Complete Mathematics Tasks 2 and 3, and provide a printout of your work in the written journal.
5) Complete , and provide a printout of your work in the written journal.
6) Refer to the previous Robot Challenges and the option challenges if you need guidance with your robot.
7) Always research, brainstorm ideas, draw a few sketches and experiment before making your final robot design.
8) Make sure that you have checked your written journal before submitting it. Poor grammar and typos detract from the quality of your work.
9) Use the set robotics lessons and your own experimenting to create the robot prototype.
10) Present your robot and video presentation by the due date.
