Robotics Class: Motion Programming, Subroutines, and Photo Resistors

Danny Hutton, Instructor of Information and Communications Technology at Louisiana Delta Community College (West Monroe Campus) and Laura Duke, Physics and Robotics Instructor at West Monroe High School, got the campers started on one of the hallmarks of the camp, robotics programming.

Utilizing the PBASIC programming language and Parallax Boe-Bots, students were introduced to the basics of robotics inclusive of assembling circuits, programming the robots to move in multiple directions, as well as programming the robots to recognize input from photo resistors.
