Fox River Robots


Robotics Competition Team

This is my first class of robotics students. I taught this class at Fox River Country Day School in Elgin Illinois. The team was entered in a robotics competition sponsored by the FIRST LEGO LEAGUE (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).

Autonomous Soccer Playing Robot

The soccer playing robots are part of the curriculum for the advance robotics class. I designed, 3D printed, and programmed the robots.

 

  These are the soccer robots built with LEGO Mindstorms structural components.


3D Printed Robotic Arm

I designed this robotic arm and taught my students how to use 3D modeling software. The students practiced modeling some of the components of the arm. I 3D printed the arm components. The students assembled the arm components and added motors and gears.
