NXT Robotics Sumo Wrestling
July 14, 2014 – July 18, 2014
Description:
Ages: 10-12
Instructor: Evan Goff
Tuition: $270
Design a sumo wrestling LEGO® Mindstorms NXT robot to grapple processor-to-processor and force your opponent outside the ring. Implement effective programming strategies to leverage the robotic sensors you have chosen and earn the rank of yokozuna (“grand champion”). Students will learn how to use ultrasonic, touch, light and other useful NXT sensors that will be helpful in the design of their sumo wrestling NXT robots. Robust programming design will be emphasized, including the use of NXT loops, switch statements and data wiring. Dynamic use of variables will also be taught with the intent of showing students how to account for different scenarios their robots might encounter… Ganbatte!
