Welcome to the world of competition robotics. In this course you will work in teams to build and program robots to complete an open-ended challenge such as the Pitching In challenge. You will develop skills in creativity, perseverance and teamwork as you design, program, and test simple and more complex robots. The ultimate goal is to create a fully autonomous robot that can solve a given problem. Concepts covered will include computational thinking, fundamental programming, remote control, collaborative problem solving, engineering construction and design thinking. Note if you took Robotics, utilizing VEX, during the 2021/2022 school year, you are ineligible to take it in the 2022/2023 school year.
