TUTORS: Stephen Kennedy

Build and programme a robot to compete in challenges

You will work in small teams to design, build, and programme robots that can complete challenges of increasing complexity.  

We will use a fun, graphical programming language to command our robots to follow our every command and send them rolling across an arena in search of points.  Each successful challenge - maybe pulling a lever, maybe retrieving some fallen objects - will earn points.  Can your robot make its way safely back to base to be retooled for the next challenge?  How many points can you get in two and a half minutes?  

Throughout the week we will be exploring ways to make our robots better and better, before a final competition at the end of the week where we put our creations to the test.
