What is a robot made of?

Part of Lesson Plan: Robot Parts

Activity Overview / Details

I set out different types of robots on the table. One robot is the original "Liliput", one a Vex, and one a Lego Mindstorm. We discuss what makes a "real" robot?

I then unpack the VEX Robotic kit and set the pieces out on the display table one-by-one. I ask if any of the studetns knows any of the component names? We name the pieces and briefly discuss each item.
