Overview

The last 1.5 hours of each 3 hour time slot will consist of lab work. Some experiments will cover many lab sessions, and a lab report will typically be due 1 week after the last lab period dedicated to that experiment.

Robot

The robot used for this course is the VideoRay Pro III Remotely Operated Vehicle developed by VideoRay.

All data will be collected with the professors computer, then later used in matlab.
