The purpose of this project is to give students an introduction to working with 4 of the most common Vex Robotics sensors in the Vex Cortex platform. The 4 sensors include: bumper / button switch, potentiometer, limit switch, and an optical shaft encoder. Students are given step by step instructions on exactly how to attach each sensor to a pre-built vex clawbot. Then the students practice writing some sample codes which utilize sensors and the sensorvalue function in RobotC programming language

This project assignment challenges students to incorporated 4 of the most common vex sensors on to a pre-made vex clawbot. Students should already have built the vex clawbot prior to working on this project. Additionally, this assignment contains RobotC programming questions to aid in the project. The 4 sensors used in this project are: optical shaft encoder, limit switch, button switch / bumper switch, and a potentiometer. At the end of the document, I give the programming solutions to the proj

Acceleration worksheet for high school Physics 1 class. This assignment is designed to be used to practice determining acceleration values and describing the motion of the object when given velocity vs time data. In part 2 of the assignment, students determine the velocity of an object, given a description of the object's motion. In part 3 of the assignment, students determine the velocity of an object, given the acceleration of the object. This worksheet covers topics related to: constant velo

This product documents instructions on how to attach an optical shaft encoder to a pre-built Vex Clawbot using the Vex cortex system. This optical shaft encoder will enable the student to measure the angular distance traveled by the rear right wheel of the clawbot. This assignment is for students who have already built a vex clawbot, and this will help them learn the basics of programming sensors by editing the clawbot code. If you would like to see live video's of me creating a Vex Robot, expl

Acceleration do now for high school Physics 1 class. This assignment is designed to be used to practice determining, describing, and drawing acceleration. Students are first asked to create a dot diagram representing different types of motion. Next, students must describe the acceleration of an object based on a dot diagram. Finally in the last section, students are asked to describe "Acceleration" in their own words. This worksheet covers topics related to: constant velocity, speed, distance, t
