Teams & Robot Kits


Teams

Team work is an important part of this course. The desired team size is three students. If you know two other people in the class, we encourage you to register together and form a team. Alternatively, we will team people up early in the semester. Teams are expected to stay together and work together until the end of the course. Each team will be expected to practice team work, and take the following issues very seriously:

  • equal and fair division of work among the team members
  • friendly and open communication among the team members
  • effective conflict resolution when disagreements arise
  • flexibility in scheduling team meetings

    Robot Kits

    The robot kits used in this course are generously provided by the USC School of Engineering. These kits are new and very expensive; they are to be reused by future students taking this course. Consequently, you are responsible for returning ALL of the contents of the kits in good shape at the end of the semester. Each kit costs over $550, so the students will be responsible for replacing any missing/broken/glued/torn or otherwise damaged parts (this includes LEGOs, processor boards, sensors, motors, etc.) in their kits, as well as any missing/damaged laboratory equipment.
