September 26, 2024 – Day 5
Tech Ed 8
For this class you need:
- Laptops
- Robot Kits

When you get to your seats:
- Open VEXCode IQ
- Go to Schoology –> Unit 5: Arm & Control
During class:
- Finish all challenges and submit the documentation for them
- Finish Unit 3.
- Begin Unit 5 and submit Clawbot Build
REMEMBER: I need to see your robot complete the challenge and you need to submit the assignment for full points.
Goals
- Finish all challenges and submit documentation
- Get 50% through building the Clawbot.
- HW: Anything outstanding?
