Robotics learning projects for my friend David

Reybotics Class

Robotics learning projects for my friend David, structured as a series of lessons on useful topics :)

Overview

This project is structured as a series of steps which will build our knowledge of basic robotics with the end goal of creating a custom, motorized, and digitally controlled robot. The end goal of this course is to design and build, from scratch, an autonomous robot that can follow simple, somewhat pre-determined paths. Self learning will be fundamental to this course and the lab objectives are meant to be the bare minimum of what should be done. The true value of this course is to help direct our learning and provide bite sized chunks to chew on, and to leave room for further exploration. This project course will take 4 weeks and will consist of 6 assignments, with the structure detailed below.
