As we progress through our material in LearnMate, you will construct and program a robot.  Use your notes that you take from completing the upcoming modules.  They will be of great benefit to you.

 

Suggested Objective d:  Use a Web 2.0 tool to outline the successes and failures associated with designing the robot

 internet explorer

There are several tools to assist with designing and programming robots.  Some include Java, HTML, MatLab, and more.  In an upcoming assignment, you will research Web 2.0 tools and the benefits or drawbacks of each.
