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

There are number of physics concepts that you can use vex or similar parts to easily explore without going into whole robot systems. This is especially true if you want to make sure students understand torque and efficiency when it comes to the limits of the motors of whatever platform you have chosen.
