Period- 6
Concepts Addressed: In this unit, students will learn what the core components of the VEX control system are - the Cortex Microcontroller, VEXnet Joystick and VEXnet Wireless link. They will also learn how they each function.
Learning Objectives:
·
The students will be
able to use the VEXnet system to successfully control their robot in a
classroom challenge.
STEM Connections: The concept of how theVEX Cortex Microcontroller coordinates the flow of all information and power on the robot is addressed. The demonstration of how the flow of electronic information is handled between the system components and the interface is featured. The concept that a robot is a very complex system of parts that must work together in order to achieve a desired goal is brought to the forefront of the presentation. The Electronic controls provided by a programmable controller like the VEX Cortex Microcontroller demonstrates that the robot is coordinate the operation of the different components and achieve its goal.
