Robot Builder Workshop

Time to take the controls. In this workshop you will drive a two-wheel robot with differential steering, program a line follower, operate a 3-joint robotic arm and let a robot dodge obstacles on its own. Every simulation here mirrors how real competition robots actually work.

You will learn: doneDifferential drive doneIR line sensing doneFeedback control doneForward kinematics doneSense-think-act loops doneGripper mechanics

Lessons

1 directions_car Motors & Wheels Control each wheel motor separately and discover how unequal speeds steer a robot — no steering wheel needed. 3D model 15 min done 2 route Line Follower Give a robot two IR sensors and a simple rule, then watch it chase a curvy line — until you crank the speed too high. Simulation 15 min done 3 precision_manufacturing The Robotic Arm Operate a 3-joint arm with a gripper, grab a ball and learn what degrees of freedom really mean. 3D model 16 min done 4 radar Obstacle Avoider Switch on the autopilot and watch a robot sense, think and act its way around a field of obstacles. 3D model 15 min done
