One time or other, we have all been curious about robots. Most people do not participate in robotics because the perception is that robotics is hard and as such you have to be either a nerd or a geek to participate.

We have developed 3 easy to use robots - Speedy, Kicker and Roamer - that make robotics accessible to almost anybody.

In this course, you learn to program Speedy to race against other Speedys, form a team of up to 3 Kickers to play ball against other teams of Kickers, and if you are adventurous, build task specific attachments to Roamer.

This activity combines the fun and excitement of 6.185, 6,186 and 6.187 without the hard work and time commitment., .
