Working in small groups, we have designed, built and then coded robots to perform predetermined tasks. There has been a wide range of pre-existing expertise in our class: many of us had already coded before; some of us didn't even know what a USB was! Special thanks go to the Darwin-Vogel family who generously funded the institute and in whose honour it is named. Please have a look at some of our projects by clicking on the tabs at the top of this page.
Lego robotics combines a programmable brick with sensors, motors and Lego technics. These can be used to create machines which can be coded to perform a range of different tasks either autonomously or via remote control (bluetooth for the 51515, infrared for EV3). The EV3 brick has its own coding language, whilst the newer 51515 can be instructed either in Scratch or Python. The image above is of a line of EV3 code. Below is an example of 51515 Scratch.
