I am writing up some coaches training materials for First LEGO League (FLL)
in Minneapolis MN and I need some help with examples of various robot
designs. I plan on covering:
Platforms:
Differential Drive (2 drive wheels, 1 or more casters)
Differential Skid (tracks or wheels)
Steered wheels (front wheel and four wheel steering)
Tricycle drive
Articulated steering
Other?
Navigation:
Dead reckoning
Landmark
Line following
Triangulation
Other?
There is no pay, unless you count fame.
Thanks for any help,
Dean Hystad

P.S. I will soon be working on a programming class also for the same group.
Any suggestions on curriculum would be appreciated. FLL allows using RCX
code and Robolab only.
