Digital Technology - Robotics

Robots are machines that can sense and/or navigate the environment around them. A robot has energy to power itself and some intelligence to perform logical actions. The Robotics industry is expected to be larger than the automotive industry. In this unit we cover how to analyse requirements and the environment. We develop design principles in construction and practical programming skills. The technology used is based around the same VEX technology we use in the National and VEX World Championships. Robotics is an intellectually challenging subject that requires students to have an interest in Robotics, control systems and practical electronic component applications.
