Welcome to Robotics

Hello class and welcome to Robotics Intermediate/Advanced.

This will be a unique and, hopefully, entertaining year where we delve deeper into how the machines that run our lives are designed, build and function.

The course outline will be posted on this site and all of our class communication will happen here.

This class will follow the "Open Lab" style so as to allow for maximum flexibility. Open lab means that one day per week, Monday in our case, we will be gathering as a class to talk theory and have a formal lesson in robotics.

During the rest of the week, you will be responsible for attending at least one class (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). You may attend more than one day but must be there at least once.

All time spent in the lab must be recorded in the Robotics Logbook. the logbook will be used when awarding you credits.

The course rundown is as follows:

Module A Mario Kart Balloon Battle Challenge

Module B AutoCAD Inventor & 3D Modelling

Module C FESTO Electropneumatic Programming Using PLCs and LadderLogic

Module D Competition Robotics (Skills Alberta Challenge)

This is a year-long course that will award you 5-Credits.
