VEX IQ BaseBot Control & Challenge Worksheet - With Summary and Objectives ========================================================================== Video Summary: -------------- In this VEX IQ Robot Games Camp session, instructor Audra guides students in setting up and controlling their BaseBot using the IQ controller. Students will learn how to link the IQ Brain, battery, and controller, and explore multiple control modes such as tank drive and arcade modes. The session culminates in a \'Fastest Lap Challenge,\' where students navigate their robot through an obstacle course they design using household items. This video provides foundational skills for effective robot control and builds strategies for precise navigation. Objectives: ----------- 1\. Understand the role of various control modes in operating the BaseBot.\ 2. Successfully connect the IQ brain, battery, and controller for optimal functionality.\ 3. Apply control strategies for navigating an obstacle course and designing a personalized course.\ 4. Analyze different control configurations to determine the most effective for precise robot navigation. Time Management and Teaching Plan: ---------------------------------- Introduction & Materials Check (5 minutes): Outline objectives and confirm all necessary equipment. Video Viewing & Question Completion (25 minutes): Play the video, pausing for critical connection and control steps. Hands-On Practice (15 minutes): Allow students to test control modes and navigate the obstacle course. Review & Reflection (10 minutes): Discuss the effectiveness of various control methods and summarize key lessons. Instructions: Watch the VEX IQ BaseBot control session video and answer the following multiple-choice questions at the given timestamps. Complete the vocabulary matching section at the end of the worksheet to reinforce your understanding of the control modes and connection steps.
