Re: Teaching "C" to 2006 students??
I think you should use the EduBot and the emulator in tandem. Back in 2003 our robot's fabrication was quite extensive. We were doing a crab drive for the first time. We used RoboEmu to test algorithms and sequence and then tested the code on the EduBot. When the time came to download the code into the robot it mainly was a matter of tweaking constants. Without RoboEmu and the EduBot I don't think we would have been successful. The EduBot(Robovation) is great because it is mainly autonomous. It helps programmers anticipate mechanical issues, like not driving straight. We are planning on spending all summer rewriting existing code in all our robots as teaching tool for the students since our only student programmer is also graduating. I hope you have success with your project, but take the time to look at RoboEmu2.
