Hart Robotics Updates

Hart High School robotics students will be attending the State UIL Robotics competition on April 8 in Houston, Texas. According to Robotics Coach Kassie Lamm, this is the first time in a few years that Hart ISD has had a robotics program, adding that the team has worked very hard and learned a lot about mechanics, CAD, 3D Printing, programming, and the engineering design process over the course of the year.

GEAR robots are assembled from parts included in the LEGO MINDSTORMS kit which includes wheels, axles, gears, motors, sensors, and a simple microprocessor with rechargeable battery. Programming is accomplished through an intuitive graphical user interface, patterned after the widely used LabVIEW laboratory instrumentation package from National Instruments. Communication with the microprocessor is done through Bluetooth or a computer's USB port. The challenge is designed around a fictive story that motivates the need for autonomous robots
