This list is a collection of the classes and activities so students can do one-stop shopping. The actual dates and times for classes are normally sent via email and on Google calendar.
Name | What to bring |
Mechanical Design. This class is for those students who want to be involved in the actual design and implementation of the physical robot. It is a 2-day class and you must attend both days. | Notebook |
Project Management. How do finish a robot in 6 weeks? How do we stay on track? What happens if we run out of time? Making decisions at the right time is incredibly important. | Notebook |
LabVIEW. This is one of the 3 programming languages we can use to program our robot. Unlike C++ and Java, LabVIEW is a graphical programming language that still contains the traditional constructs of procedural languages. LabVIEW is ideally suited for non-programmers. The languages is widely used in command and control environments. It is easy to learn and very powerful. | Notebook |
