Robotics Project

• Programmed using Interactive C
• Basic functions (moving forward, turning,
  repeating procedures, etc.)
• Learn to work as a team
• Dividing the work load between programmers and
  builders
• Learning how to overcome obstacles how much to
  turn, how much time, sensor use

Biomedical Centrifuge Experiment

• Definition centrifuge is a cylindrically shaped
  device that quickly spins items in it around a
  central axis and separates them based on their
  inertias
• Teamwork
• Equipment LEGOS and
• motors
• Use of interactive C
