My suggestion OP is that you reorder your topics. Start with what gets them hooked: writing a program, making a robot drive. Expand from there. Focus on whats the most relevant to making a robot move and work your way out. Save advanced topics for advanced students. No one starts out robot design with stress analysis and motor-curves. Programming is already scary and daunting for some students. Don't push them out by making it harder/more complex than it needs to be.
