Re: Robotics Boy Scout Merit Badge - are you a counselor?
I'm looking for things like rsisk posted about doing the robot build as a separate set of actions in a setting like a camp.
It turns out there is not a lot of Robotics counselors out there, so there is a demand in my area. I'm looking for clever ideas to maximize scout involvement and lessen what I need to do per scout.
Another stumbling block for troops is the parts required to build even a simple robot, so I'm trying to see how smaller, less expensive robots (Lego E3, Vex IQ) can work out. Right now I use (and reuse) VEX Metal to build simple protobot clones for single scouts, or push them to join a robotics team to get the build part completed.
I'm also looking for how to overlap Programming Badge requirement 5 (write programs) so they can get a running start on that Badge.
