Re: Curriculum ideas/outline for full year robotics course?

There's no reason the first half of the year can't include robotics. But perhaps a better idea would be to start with the basics: This is a screwdriver. This is a sprocket. And so on. A little of each ag a time, then a practical application of all of it. Early practical stuff can be non-robotics, since the students need to understand principles first, but using Vex to get a point across (like motor stall, i.e. why you can only get so much from a motor).

Good luck!
