LABs
Overview
The last 1-2 hours of each class will consist of lab work. Students must present experiment results and hand in a lab write-up before leaving the lab on the final day of each lab.
Robots
The robot used for this course is the X80 developed by Dr Robot. A manual with documentation for programming can be found here.
There are several files required for running the base codes on your personal computer. They can be found here. Open up the software folder and run the setup file.
