Class Spotlight: Robotics Vex IQ

The robotics Vex IQ class has been having a super fun week building and programming robots to solve different challenges. Students began the week by building robots that could move forward and backward between two points on the ground.

As the week progressed, the students were challenged with making changes to their robots so that they would be able to navigate a maze.

Continuing through the week, students used their critical thinking skills to add a claw mechanism to their robots so that they would be able to pick up boxes on the floor. They also added a place for the robots to store the boxes that they picked up.

As the week came to an end, the students were tasked with building their own battle bot to go up against other students. After each bout, students were given the opportunity to head back to the drawing board to come up with new ideas to build a stronger robot. It is great to see these students come up with new ideas to solve problems and work through difficult challenges to build really cool robots!
