Reverse Engineering, experiences, advice
Our rookie year was chaotic. We only had about 12 regular students and a handful of occasional participants. This put a heavy burden on myself and my fellow mentor to do a good deal of design review (a.k.a. redesigning) and planning for the students.
I felt that a good way to introduce new and prospective members of the team to robotics is to reverse engineer our LogoMotion 'bot. Taking apart the robot and looking at the function of each part, and how they interconnect should be a good learning experience. I also want new students to develop a preference of what role they want to serve on the build team: electrical, programming, drive system, etc.
Has anyone done this in the past? If so, do you have any advice?
