Robotics Project
• Programmed using Interactive C• Basic functions (moving forward, turning, repeating
procedures, etc.)• Learn to work as a team• Dividing the work load between programmers and
builders• Learning how to overcome obstacles – how much
to turn, how much time, sensor use
Biomedical Centrifuge Experiment
• Definition: centrifuge is a cylindrically shaped device that quickly spins items in it around a central axis and separates them based on their inertias
• Teamwork• Equipment: LEGOS and
motors• Use of interactive C
Final Thoughts
• Communication skills• Thinking outside the box• Preparation for future engineering tasks
