Robot chassis
Build a wheeled chassis and test how weight, wheels and friction change the way it moves.
- TUESDAY
Mechanisms
Build levers, gears and linkages, then compare them with motorised versions.
- WEDNESDAY
Motors and drive
Set up motors and drivetrains, using paired forces to control motion.
- THURSDAY
Design challenge
Design, prototype and improve a motorised mechanism for a set task.
