Xtreme Robotics

Get ready to take control!  Using the NXT brick from LEGO®, students will build robots, program them to accomplish tasks, respond to external stimuli, and overcome challenges.  Challenges will involve navigation, avoiding and/or climbing over obstacles and moving objects.  Students will control the robot with the NXT programming language, and learn fundamental software programming techniques. Get your brains in gear and your robots moving. 

 In this course, students will build and program complex robots that move in different ways and perform complicated tasks. Use the robot as an automated sentry, to check office doors, to listen and look for intruders. Use it to go into dangerous places to check for obstacles, and pick up explosive objects. Use it to perform tasks that involve repetition and accuracy.
