About Accuracy and Approximation
How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...
Curated OER
Robotics
students identify and research robots in various roles in society, and create robotic arms and multimedia presentation based on their findings.
