This is a presentation about using robotics in school.

1. BLADE RUNNER Robotics Team Our motto “ Cogito ergo sum” Cartesio “ Our colors” I.I.S.J.C.Maxwell

3. The project The project is a sort of challenge that the undersigned prof.Duchi wanted to offer its students in order to desire to be involved in the Italian robotics league in soccer and rescue category . Our group also wanted to include this activity within the European project called”Byte the Byte” concerned to compare what each country is to increase interest in the study and the way to obtain remarkable result

5. Electronics Department The electronics department is responsible for assembling and designing electronic circuits designed to control motors and sensors of robots. Our robocup’s Engineers also designed and tested programs for robots using the C programming language

7. How to organize a study group (cooperative learning) The project is based through a cooperative work and learning in progress among students The structure chosen by the students is very similar to a corporate organization created by a project leader and the heads of departments that are involved in software and hardware . N ext page shows the organization chart of the company

8. BLADE RUNNER Robotic’s Team

9. Our purpose The team's goal is to increase the level of knowledge in the field of robotics and to obtain a good result in the Italian championship. The project also proposes to make it clear to students that together are essential for successful participation in the challenge of Vicenza 2010 and the sectors are interconnected.

10. Pictures and Video n.1 n.2 n.3 n.4 n.5 The team (n.1) soccer field with player(in progress) and infrared ball (n.2) mechanical area (n.3) Software house (n.4) Arduino Microcontroller (n.5) Rescue prototype

11. Software-House This page is dedicated to developing software.The group has used the C language and it uses the Linux operating system.

12. VICENZA 2010 Here we are a day of Robocup competition. Students after spending much of their time in labs to prepare the robots are almost ready. They are all very excited for the competition that comes close. Are they able to obtain a satisfactory result? Do the robots work ? Next page you can see the pictures
