A
robot's parts are designed to fulfill their functions, which explain the many
different designs we can find on different robots today. In this workshop,
students get to construct their own gripper mechanism for their robot. Every
gripper mechanism has its own unique design and function. Students will also
learn how to programme the mechanism to attempt a task on the mission maps.
Topics covered:
PART I- GRIPPER ARM TYPE A (1.5HRS)
1. How to build a gripper mechanism (up-down motion) attached to 1 motor
2. How to programme the gripper for mission map
PART II- GRIPPER ARM TYPE B (1.5HRS)
1. How to build a gripper mechanism (sideways motion) attached to 1 motor
2. How to programme the gripper for mission map

Advanced Programming
Workshops
In this workshop, students will be given a chance to explore the more advanced
features available in RoboLab. At the end of this two-part workshop, they will
learn how to use logical thinking to write their own programs to solve the
missions on various past National Junior Robotics Competition (NJRC) mission
maps.
Topics covered:
PART I (1.5HRS)
1. Conditional Statements
2. Multi-tasking
PART II (1.5HRS)
1. Use of Variables
2. Timers
3. Containers
4. Basic Troubleshooting

Primary 3 and Above |
Advanced Sensors
Workshops
You will find many different kinds of sensors at work in robots. Similar robotic
systems may use different sensors to get a similar job done. A good
understanding of how to programme a robot's sensors can improve the performance
of the robots when attempting any mission on the playing field. Students will
get to experience a mock exercise using various past National Junior Robotics
Competition (NJRC) mission maps to put what they have learnt in the workshop to
good use.
Topics covered:
PART I- ROTATIONAL SENSOR (1.5HRS)
1. How to calculate the number of sensor counts per distance covered.
2. Uses of rotational sensor fork, merge icons, split task etc.
3. Programming sequence on mission maps.
PART II- LIGHT SENSOR (1.5HRS)
1. How to input values of lights sensor readings.
2. Use of dual light sensor programming.
3. Programming sequence on mission maps.
