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
