STEM Unit: Seven Robots In Action!

Reminder 01: If you need any help or have any questions, please email me at [email protected]
Reminder 02: Since STEM is a hands-on course using resources at school that I cannot send home, if you are absent I will simply excuse you from any grade that I take while you are out. So, when you are absent focus on work for your core content classes (Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies).
Mission: Using a provided  Vex Robotics kit, construct robots and control them using your cell phone.  This activity will occur in three separate phases (Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three). During each phase the difficulty will increase.

Criteria 01: Construct your robots following the directions in the manuals (paper and online). 

Criteria 02: You must control the robot from a distance to complete an obstacle course in the classroom

Constraint 01: During each round, you can only use pieces from the kit provided to you.
