How This Unit Will Be Assessed

from xkcd.com
The last couple of modules are interesting because we have students going in every direction in terms of their projects. Because of this, you will be assessed in a new way for this module.

Robotics Intermediate/Advanced Competencies

This method of assessing your work will be different, but we will sit down and have an interview where we discuss what you've done in each of these areas.

The Final Challenge

The final challenge for this module is to rig together three MecLab Units.

This is a photo of the model that we will be pursuing.

This project will last through Spring Break and will conclude when the machine is complete.

This machine should do the following:


  • Use a magazine stack as a start point (with mixed black and silver work pieces)
  • The machine must sort the silver work pieces into one direction.
  • The machine must take the black work pieces and move them to another pile with the pneumatic arm.
