Fairfax Collegiate Summer 2012

Robotics Zoo 3-4

Robotics Zoo combines biology and robotics. Students model real and imaginary animals using LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots.

Students build robotic representations of spiders, frogs, elephants, and stegosaurs, and program robots using NXT-G to mimic characteristic animal behaviors.

For the final project, students imagine a new life form and build a robotic representation.
