- 12/9: Scorbot Lab: The lab will be conducted in the same lab groups as for the lego project. Each group will be allowed a maximum of three 4 hour sessions on the robot. A morning and an afternoon session will be held on each day in the weeks starting 26 Sept, 4, 10 and 17 Oct. Please see Padma to book three sessions - a group cannot book more than 1 session in each week!
- 15/9: Lego Project: A number of requests have been made regarding the size restriction of the robot of 30cm. The idea of this limit was to prevent rows from being skipped, so I have changed the rule to be (a) no size restriction on robots, (b) no row of holes can be skipped during the climb, and (c) the robot finishes the course when it reaches the top row of holes, but it must finish in the top holes in the same configuration as it started in the bottom row of holes. This should not adversely affect anyone who was designing a robot within the spirit of the rules.
- 16/9: Assignment 4 out
- 21/9: Lego competion on Friday will start at 9.00am and end at 11.00am. There are 17 lab groups, so Group 1 (see the link on this page for your lab group number) will start at 9.00am, followed by each subsequent lab group in order. Groups who have not run their robot by 11.00am will not enter into the competition. Groups who miss their turn will be put to the end of the list.
