In our first week, we explored what we hoped to learn, tackled the initial challenge, and discussed the essential tasks ahead. Students will engage in RoboSumo, learning basic circuit components while utilizing resources like MSP430 and LaunchPad for C programming. A blog documenting experiences is mandatory for grading. This week unveils key challenges, including the Race to the Wall and LED key challenges. Preparations begin for the upcoming tournament. Important tournament information can be found on our website.
