ROBOT LAB 513 course list
Currently we offer an INTRODUCTION TO SPIKE and an ADVANCED SPIKE ROBOTICS courses. Courses are offered monthly with new and fun challenges each and every month. The course are built on a three or four week cirriculum. Special courses added periodically. INTRO TO SPIKE course focuses on lessons that are useful for your FLL season. ADVANCED SPIKE are fun courses that call on knowledge learned in INTRO or your FLL season. ADVANCED focuses more on creative problem solving.
Introduction to Spike
This is a great course for those new to robotics and new to the Spike Prime robotic kit. In this course we will build a robot then learn to navigate the robot through challenges each week. Each week we will expand our knowledge of scratch coding blocks and add layers to our code. As the courses progress, we will introduce sensors and have additional challenges. This is a fun beginner course into robotics, but is not just basics. Students will be pushed to solve problems using lessons taught in class.
Advanced Spike Robotics
If you already have Spike experience, this is a great course to build on your knowledge. We dive deeper into complex coding, sensor capabilities and PID control. Each month we offer a new course to incorporate fun challenges and problem solving. Courses include SpeedTrack, Target Practice, 4-Axis Robotic Arm, and CNC/Plotter. In Advanced course students are challenged to problem solve in tasks much different from those encountered in FLL.
Special challenge courses
Experience recommended. Twice a year, we offer special challenge courses to keep the fun going. These special offers include Sumo-Bot Challenge, Speedway Race Challenge, and King of the Mountain Challenge. Don't miss our next Challenge. Special Challenge Courses are not designed for students new to robotics. It is recommended to take Intro to Spike course first.
