[Yr7-10it] Advanced lego NXT robot projects

[Kent Beveridge]

Perhaps a project which challenges them to investigate commercial multi-axis robotics and to construct and mimic some of the actions used in a production/professional environments. Typically these are welding, milling type machines(usually of a point to point type).  Maybe they could then synchronize several robots to music as a challenge!! Seen some really cute and excellently done examples of this on you tube by major japanese producers..really cool stuff!

my 2c worth for ya!

Hi Everybody,

I'm looking for ideas and resources for advanced year 10 students for a
robotics unit. Specifically, a major programming (the focus is on
programming rather than mechanics) task that wraps everything up. We don't
have a huge length of time, so soccerbots or killbots are likely out of the
question, and the students have already done a project following a line from
one place to another. Any ideas or pointers are appreciated.

Cheers,
