3 LESSON 12

4 LESSON 12 STARTER Learning objective: Reflect on the learning in the project, establish personal targets for your next project, and consider the wider implications of your robotics learning. Today you have come to the end of the VEX Robotics Tumbler project, you are going to sit an end of unit test, and complete an evaluation of the project so that your teacher can improve the project for the next group/year. Robotics in the future You are then going to consider how robotics in general might improve your opportunities in later life, and look at opportunities outside the class room for VEX Robotics at your school. Key words: Robotics, reflection, targets.

5 END OF UNIT TEST Reminders: silence, answer all questions, write full answers, do not copy your neighbour (alternatively use the Fuse Creator test on your VLE)

6 END OF UNIT TEST END OF UNIT TEST Questions 1-5 (of 18) What are the different elements of a robot design system? What key terms do we need to know when planning movement with a robot? Why do we need to plan carefully the use of motors in a robot? How do we create strong structures when joining materials? What do the axis X, Y and Z relate to?

7 END OF UNIT TEST END OF UNIT TEST Questions 6-10 (of 18) What are the two elements of a battery that react to create electron flow (current)? What is between the two elements of a battery that allows the flow of electrons through it? A primary cell is what type of battery? What is a secondary cell? What can happen to an NIMH battery over time?

8 END OF UNIT TEST What does the jumper do to a cortex?
END OF UNIT TEST Questions (of 18) What does the jumper do to a cortex? Describe what sensors do to the cortex, and subsequently onto the motors. Why is a bump switch better for collision programming than the limit switch? How would you describe the term “behaviour” in the context of a robot? What does this sensor do?

9 END OF UNIT TEST What can sensors not do for a robot?
END OF UNIT TEST Questions 16-18(of 18) What can sensors not do for a robot? Which sensors are these? Where could sensors be used on this robot to help it collect rubbish and put it in the bin?

10 LESSON 12 EVALUATION Individually, consider the answers to these questions and write down targets for yourself? A. How could you have performed better in this test? B. Which areas do you feel most confident about and why? C. Which areas do you feel less confident about and why? What will you do to improve? D. What have you learnt beyond the content of this test? E. What could you do in your next project to improve your performance?

11 LESSON 12 FUTURE CAREERS Could you use these skills in later life as part of a career? In this project you have developed robotic design skills, problem solving skills, and programming skills. You have also worked in a close knit team, and developed drawing and annotation skills alongside some VEXcellent subject knowledge about engineering principles. Have you considered the following careers in robotics, engineering and design? - robotics engineer - mechanical engineer - product designer - biomedical engineer Jobs to research - robot technician - robot engineer

12 PROJECT SUMMARY Today you have:
Learning objective: Reflect on the learning in the project, establish personal targets for your next project, and consider the wider implications of your robotics learning. Today you have: Reflected on the project and your achievements, and set yourself clear targets for your next project. Looked at the wider opportunities in VEX Robotics, and considered whether it is for you. Considered if Robotics and STEM based learning might be for you at GCSE and A-Level.
