Gateways to Technology

Mr. Redden’s Gateway to Technology students have been working on designing, building, and programming a variety of robotic devices this semester. The devices are motorized and have several types of input devices or sensors to help students to solve a number of different problems. Students use a variety of C programming language to make their robots work… there was loads of “de-bugging” involved in getting the programs right!  One of the robotic challenges was to design and program a robot to follow a black line on a pieces of paper.
