Did you know robots can communicate and learn from each other?
In this advanced course students will assemble, modify and programme their own TL1 Swarm Robots to undertake missions with schools around the world. The TL1 is an omni-directional robot equipped with 3 DC motors, laser-cut chassis and bluetooth radio communication which allows clusters of robots to undertake combined tasks. Working with a swarm of robots, our final mission will be mapping unexplored terrain on planet Mars!
*Prerequisite of prior enrollment in TechLabs robotics clubs
Note that participation in MakeX is not required in order to join the camp and experience the thrill of designing a champion robot! Makeblock supports both mBlock, a drag-and-drop visual programming environment based on Scratch for beginners or C++ for kids ready for additional programming challenges. Our curriculum provides hands-on collaborative and competitive challenges where students build robots and learn about electronics, mechanical design, code development and algorithms.
Notes: Students taking the course for a second time will be exposed to new robotic design challenges.
