Robot Race Cars


These are the top competitors from our robot race car competition.  The semi-final races were held in the classroom and the finals were raced during nutrition




 Students practicing their mechanical and computer engineering to build and program race cars. The Goal was to have the fastest car that would also stop within the guidelines.  The robots are constructed from VEX Robotic parts.  All coding is done in a language called RobotC.  It is amazing to see students learn to become mechanical and learn the properties of various mechanisms, while learning to code as well.  The students truly enjoy these activities.
