Schedule spring 2012


End Course Project

The assessment methods for this course is (quoted from the course description):"Project and oral exam, 7-scale, internal examiner". In practise this means that each group make a project at the end of the course and present the project when it is finished. Suggestions for end course projects can be seen on list of projects. Other suggestions can be seen on iMARS Lab or Robotics Projects . Each group is welcome to suggest their own project.

On Thursday the 14-6-2012 the presentations of the end course projects take place in Zuse from 9:00 to late afternoon. Each group has 15 minutes for there presentation.

Sign up for a slot - sent an e-mail to legolab with the time and names of the group members.

Robot Race

We will use the whole lab session to make a robot that compete in the Robot race.

Those teams that have managed to hand in their result before 3 p.m on 18-4-12 will be part of the official Robot Race competition. The winning team gets there prize at the next Lecture.
