Prereq: should have no significant programming experience
Level: U 3 units Graded P/D/F
A special experimental version of 6.001 for students with little or no programming experience will be offered Spring 2003, but will begin with a required 3-unit IAP class, 6.090, during the last week of IAP. These students will also register for 6.001 for the Spring Term 2003 in the usual way, and will be assigned to a special section of that subject, also to meet at 2 PM, but for one hour. This special version will cover the same material as the regular 6.001 and will be synchronized with it by Quiz 1 in 6.001. To request a place in this special offering, email welg@ai.mit.edu by 12/16/02, including your name, email address, year at MIT, prior programming experience if any, and the name of your academic advisor. We will try to inform you whether you've been selected by 1/6/03. If you have questions please contact 6.001-special@ai.mit.edu.
6.090 class and lab attendance and extensive programming assignments required.

Thu Jan 30, 06-10:00pm, 26-100, Final Competition; All Welcome
Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS.
Enter lottery by: 04-Oct-2002
Limited to 180 participants.
Listeners allowed, space permitting
Prereq: —
Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
Fee: 150.00 for for each team
Groups of three design, build, and program robots (made of LEGO and various sensors) for the annual final contest at the end of IAP. This student-taught class is open only to MIT students; freshmen are strongly encouraged to participate. No experience is necessary; you'll learn how to play with LEGO, basic programming and soldering. A lottery is held in mid-October because this class is very popular. It's time (and fun) intensive, running from the start of IAP, at ludicrous speed to the exciting public final competition at the end. Participants can't have other major time commitments. Please see our website. (Class has 6 EDPs.)

MASLab/6.186 is a student-run activity in which students build autonomous robots that navigate an unknown playing field, locating and retrieving items of interest. While similar in structure to 6.270, 6.186 has a more challenging contest and uses more sophisticated components. A friendly contest will take place in late January; check date. 6 EDPs.

Mon Jan 6, 01-02:00pm, 34-301, Final Contest Open to All
Pre-register on WebSIS and attend first class.
Listeners allowed, space permitting
Prereq: Knowlege of Java; experience with RTS, MMORPG games and AI
Level: U 6 units Graded P/D/F
6.370 is the MIT ACM/IEEE Chapter's annual programming contest. For three weeks students will program and test virtual agents in a persistent, online game universe to solve different AI tasks using our contest software. Then students form teams of up to three members to compete in head-to-head matches, culminating in a live final round with prizes provided by our sponsors. Experience with RTS/MMORPG games and AI useful but not required. Register both with WEBSIS, and by December 31 at our website. 6 Engineering Design Points. Final competition held 1/29, at 7PM in 10-250.

Special Studies in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Make a Motor
Prof. Steven B. Leeb
Schedule: TBD
Selection by departmental lottery. Do not pre-register on WebSIS.
Enter lottery by: 01-Dec-2002
Limited to 14 participants.
No listeners
Prereq: Permission of instructor, enrollment in Adv. Mech. Proj.
Level: U 3 units Graded P/D/F
Ever wonder what makes an electric motor turn? Rotating electric machines are fascinating, compact devices that can teach you how people combine electrical and mechanical components to do work. In this three day seminar you will design and construct your own small DC motor. We'll begin by analyzing the performance and construction of a motor in a popular commercial product, e.g., a vacuum cleaner. Next you'll learn how to use machine tools like the lathe, bandsaw, and milling machine. You'll use these tools to make a motor that meets or beats the performance specification of the commercial motor. No previous machining or circuit assembly experience is required. Enrollment restricted to students taking the Advanced Mechatronics Project Laboratory, in the spring. IAP dates will be scheduled later.
