About this Course

Participants will build and code a Code Base Robot to perform a job that is dull, dirty or dangerous. They will learn the beginning steps of coding the Code Base robot including how to open, download, and run a project using VEXcode GO. They will then work on a project to code the Code Base Robot to act like a rover to collect samples on Mars. Participants will be introduced and use the Eye Sensor on the Code Base to detect obstacles to clear the landing area for a Mars rover to land safely. They will then use the Code Base Robot and its sensor iterations to explore robot behaviors, controls, commands, and sensors through navigation challenges. Due to the duration length of this program, participants under ten (10) years of age do not need to be accompanied in the program. However, parents/guardians are expected to remain at the program location for its duration in the event their immediate assistance is required.
