Curriculum Map
Key Learning(s):
Unit Essential Question(s):
Understanding how motor speed, Light
Sensor positioning, and direction of travel
affect a robot’s ability to track a line will
allow us to re-engineer and re-program our
robots to track a line more quickly, without
sacrificing accuracy.
How can programming and engineering be
used together to make a robot track a line
more quickly, without sacrificing accuracy?
