Hi folks,
A while ago I mentioned we might want to do a talk at Brickfest about Lego
Robotics competitions. It is entitled "Building Competition Robots".
Here's the outline I've been working through. Please add your comments and
suggestions-I want to present the idea not building Lego robots (that's been
covered before) but the issues involved in building a robot for a design
competition and the problems that arise due to it.
Calum

1. The Design Cycle
-Component/Modular Design
-Sketching Ideas
-Proof of Concept
-Test, Test and More Test (yeah, you win Mario)
-Lego vs Reality
2. Building

-Motors: What Can Be Controlled
-Gear Ratios
3. Programming
-Open vs Closed Loop Control
