Comments
This Robot Lab experiment specifically references the LEGO Spike Prime Robot. However, the lab experiment can be customized for use with other basic robots.
The Lab experiment is geared for students of all majors, and is best conducted with teams of 2 students, sharing one Robot.
Two (2) Robot Experiments, Part 1 and Part 2 are available on this OER platform. It is recommended that Part 1 be conducted by students during a class session of at least 2 hours; and Part 2 should be conducted by students during the following class session.
For further recommendations and direction please contact Orit D. Gruber, CSI.
