A library of Simulink blocks for programming the VEX Cortex Microcontroller to work with servomotors, DC motors, switches, potentiometers, and VEX gamepad inputs.

They then review their presentation and the project itself.Simulink Coder™ generates and executes C and C++ code from Simulink ® diagrams, Stateflow ® charts, and MATLAB ® functions that can be compiled and executed on with the VEX™ Cortex ® Microcontroller (from VEX Robotics). *Lesson 8: Teams make their presentations to an ‘expert panel’ made up of teachers, STEM Ambassadors or others. Team leaders assign roles to individuals to ensure they work to deadlines. *Lesson 7: The robot is fully tested against the team’s criteria, and prepare a presentation. Students evaluate their solutions against their design criteria. They may also program the robot to act autonomously.

*Lesson 6: Students create their prototype robot and have the chance to add sensors to it. Teams may start to build their chosen design. They make notes in an engineering notebook, recording how and why decisions were made. *Lesson 5: Students present their design ideas to their team, and a joint design is decided upon. Students work to produce a design specification based on their product research, and sketch ideas. *Lesson 4: This lesson delves into the NASA design brief – to prototype a robot for exploring Mars.

An extension research task examines the work of NASA. An optional activity involves programming the robot using RobotC, a programming language specifically designed for the VEX microcontroller. Team task-management approaches are used to ensure everyone has an active role. *Lesson 3: Electrical wiring and control circuitry is added to the robot, which is then tested.

They work in teams to build a ‘ClawBot’, a basic wheeled robot with a movable, clawed arm. *Lesson 2: Students investigate the mechanical components that comprise the modular VEX system. It includes an overview and a definition of robotics, and a research task. *Lesson 1: An introduction to robotics and the context of robotic space exploration, specifically a Mars rover. The VEX robotics system is modular, allowing for students to create a common design and then develop their own ideas. They learn about the components of a robotics system including control units and data communications, and work through a design process towards a prototype. In this full scheme of work, designed for a series of two-hour double-lessons, students develop a Mars Rover for NASA based on a standard VEX design.
