Honors Applied Robotics

 

This year-long course is designed to be an intermediate/advanced level, and students are expected to have basic knowledge or experience with logic and computer programming. Students will be members of the Northwood FIRST FRC robotics team (Team #6300). Students will design and build industrial robots from scratch – mastering the fundamental concepts in the process. Mechanical assembly, drive train design, electrical wiring, Java programming, mechanical engineering, and robot command and control are skills students will develop in this process. This course will employ advanced 3D printing tools and develop skills for 3D- model and part design. Grading in this pathway is based on the successful completion of projects and level of proficiency in skill areas.
