Robotics Competitions Projects

Engineering Application Series Projects

Precision Measuring Device

Robotics Competition Projects provide a unique opportunity to introduce robotics into the classroom. Each project is designed to stimulate student learning and engages participants to solve a variety of math, science and engineering problems.

The Engineering Application Series Projects are a collection of fun and exciting problem-based learning opportunities. EAS provides students the opportunity to master critical academic, workplace, and life skills while solving real-world challenges.

Another classic project that takes students through the design and manufacturing process and ends with a functional part in hand, Precision Measuring Device highlights CAD/CAM, CNC, and quality control. Student teams design and manufacture a precision ruler.

Robotics Competitions Projects 1

Student teams are presented with a real world engineering design challenge. The team then organizes and solves the problem by navigating the design loop process using a unique Challenge Script.

Putter

Cone Zone is a entry-level project that is action-packed and full of

excitement. The unique scoring device, the Conic, provides a challenge that, on the surface, appears simple, but presents many design obstacles.

The scoring components, a regulation set of pool balls, provide many different scoring possibilities and thought-provoking design problems due to their size, weight, texture and inertial qualities.

Puck Pile-up challenges competitors to collect hockey pucks and stack them on a scoring platform. The size, shape, and mass of the pucks create design dilemmas. Additionally, the presence of eight power pucks makes a scoring strategy necessary for victory.

Safe Cracker tests competitors programming and math skills!

Students design, build, and program a fully autonomous robot to solve a series of combination locks. An understanding of fractions, proportions, and trigonometry help programmers complete this task. Once competitors solve the challenge at its basic level, additional challenges try programming skills even further.

Robotics Competitions Projects 2

Cube Conundrum is a fully autonomous robotic challenge in

whch competitors retrieve blocks from a dispenser and deposit them into scoring bins. Solving this challenge requires efficient use of sensors and programming. Cube Conundrum offers varied levels of challenges for beginner, intermediate, and expert programmers.

Involution is a battle-tested intermediate-level robotics project that offers fast-paced action and is a true test of efficient robot design, control and skill. A combination of a unique scoring goal and a limited number of scoring components adds the element of strategy and quick thinking into the problem-solving equation.

Full Pull is a challenging intermediate-level robotics project that combines robot design skill with brute force and is a unique test of durable robot design. A unique robotics twist on traditional tractor pulling, Full Pull adds elements of statics, dynamics and physics into the problem-solving equation.

Green Street Project Green Street is an autonomous challenge with a relevant green technology scenario. This competition challenges players to create a fully autonomous robot that navigates Green Street neighborhood and collects trash bins at each home. Solving this challenge will require participants to utilize and program a variety of robotic sensors. Variations give programmers opportunities to continue expanding their skills after solving the basic problem.

REC Unit 2: Introduction to Vex Programming

Introduction to Engineering provides students an excellent overview of the field of engineering. This 20-hour course engages students with topics such as an overview of the history of engineering, career choices and the engineering design process. Multi-level handson activities involve product design, career seeking and ethics. To conclude the course, a capstone project challenges students to explore engineering.

REC Unit 2 introduces students to programming with easyC®, the block style programming language for Vex. Fundamental programming concepts like loops, statements, variables, constants and assignments are reinforced with activities and worksheets. Students learn the differences between RC control of the robot and autonomous control, and create simple programs to command the robot to go forward, backward, left and right. They learn how to simplify their code using functions. In the final project, students use their new programming skills to make the BaseBot follow a complex path.

For students on a career track in engineering, Introduction to Engineering serves as an excellent launching pad for more in-depth courses. Exploratory students with little exposure to the field may decide to pursue an engineering career after learning of the many exciting opportunities available!
