(501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization) Robot Design Starts with a question. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

§ Problem solving is key. § Problem solving using math and science allows you to build a better robot quicker. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

§ What does robot design look like? § It is not a mathematics word problem. • Everything is give in the problem • Recently studied or should know the equations • Plug and find the answer. • Very linear. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

The robot design process is. . . § Verbalize the problem and propose a solution § Build a model of the solution § Test and Evaluate § Refine and Repeat § Make a loop each session § Get Closer to final solution each time FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Meetings: The robot design process. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Engineering in FLL. § Build a robot to score points in 2. 5 minutes. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Problem Statement further refined. § Build a robot to score points in 2. 5 minutes. § What Kind of Robot? § How does it move? FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Problem Statement further refined. § Build and program an autonomous NXT robot to score points in 2. 5 minutes. § How do you score points? § Missions. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Problem Statement further refined. § Build and program an autonomous NXT robot with mission one attachment to score points in 2. 5 minutes. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Problem Statement further refined. § Build and program an autonomous robot with swappable mission attachments to score as many points as possible in 2. 5 minutes. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Basic Process § Designing a robot is like eating a cow. § How do you eat a cow? FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Basic Process § One bite at a time! § Start simple. § Break each problem down into smaller components. § When you get a component small enough to solve – solve it. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Software Program development. § “… program an autonomous robot…” § If kids have not programmed and I do not know how, how can me move forward? FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Problem § Program your EV 3 to move forward 5 revolutions and then move back 5 revolutions to the staring point. FOR INSPIRATION AND RECOGNITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
