2016 Robot Challenge Update

Currently in Automation and Robotics, the students are hard at work for the 2016 Robot Challenge. This year, the challenge is for students to create an elevator that can lift a textbook! To accomplish this task, they will have to use everything they have learned, from programming, to mechanisms, to research, and the understanding of gear ratios. This is not an easy task!

The students have certainly been challenged, but many are persevering. Failure in class is a good thing, and the students have been learning a lot through this process.

With about a week left of design and creation time left, can the students complete the 2016 Robot Challenge? Be sure to follow the classroom twitter feed, and check back to find out!
