Robotics Lab

This hands-on course will build on the learning in Robotics, with students working in a team environment to solve progressively more complex tasks.  Students will design, build, and program robots using the VEX Robotics platform.  Robotics Lab challenges will be tailored to the students in the class, and may include work on competitive robots as appropriate (VEX VRC level).  Participation on a competitive robotics team outside of class is encouraged but not required.
