Week 2-2 The task bot


Hello,
In this class I have strongly insisted on the power of TEAM WORK!
TEAM WORK are not just  a couple of beautiful words. They have a big and a crucial meaning in the robotics engineering because simply no one can progress while working only with him self no helps no suggestions that's totally a big failure in the robotic world and this person simply wont  progress in his technical and social experience.
Robotics engineering must be done in groups of 2 or more even that I have enough kits for each student I chose to divide them into 5 groups of 3. every group has its table, desktop and it's lego mindstorm kit.

There are another essential factor  in robotics witch is competitions. So this groups or teams they will be always competing to each other to create a stressed work climate so the ls will be used to work and find solutions under pressure witch is the usual state of an engineer.

In this class ls teams must build there first robot with the mindstorm kits. The first robot is the fairly famous taskbot.
Taskbot is a 2 wheel drive robot with one guide wheel  an NXT brick and we can easily add sensors to its structure.

This pdf describe the building instructions:

make sure that all the groups finish there robot on time so you can move to the next course.
