When I was getting my master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering,
we shared a facility with the Civil and Environmental Engineering.
One of the PhD candidates bought a computer for his laboratory, to
automate long-running environmental experiments. And this was back in
the days when if you had a computer, you *definitely* had hair on your
chest, and your knuckles scraped on the floor when you walked.
So yeah, you can definitely make the biology connection. Use a motor
to flip the light switch on a grow light, or turn a water valve. Use
the light sensor to see how long it takes a plant to grow to a certain
height.

| Yes, I've seen e-lab in the catalog, and thought of trying to get one set in with my other stuff, but the grant was specifically for robotics (because I wrote it before elab came out....) and I want enough for a whole class. My curriculum this year (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
