Building Your Own: Object Avoiding Robot
Rescheduled for
Thursday, October 22nd at 3:30 PM
We apologize for any inconvenience, but the Build Your Own Object Avoiding Robot workshop has been rescheduled for Thursday, October 22nd at 3:30 PM.
During this workshop, you will learn to incorporate an Arduino with a range finder senor, wheels, and chassis into a great little object avoiding robot. This class will include building the robot and programming it. Taught by Issac Johnson, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Student Group.
Please note that an optional $55 kit is available from the Electronic Shop for purchase before the workshop, if you want to be able to build along! The kits can be purchased when registering for the workshop. The cost will be applied to your U-Bill and will be available to pick up in the Engineering Library. They must be ordered by October 15th.
You may register here.
One part of this project is the need to solder a few wires together. There will be a workshop on soldering basics the week before. If you prefer, Jeremy Roszell from the Electronics Shop will (for free) solder the wires together for you.
Two items which will be needed but are NOT in the kit, may be checked out from the Tool Library or they are available to purchase from Electronic Shop:
- Soldering Iron
- Hot glue Gun
