In this class, students make each own robot. In the process of making a line tracing robot, students design hardware and software
of each own robot. Students learn about how to use sensors and how to drive motors and how to control the robot by microcomputer.
Students have experience about making circuit, assembling mechanical parts, and considering about layout of sensors and wheels.
Students will master engineering basic skills, programming skills, and system integration skills through development of a
line tracing robot.
- (Introduction about System) Students get the basic knowledge about a robot and can apply to making a robot system.
- (Introduction about Microcomputer) Students get the basic skills about microcomputer and can apply to making a robot system.
- (Introduction about Hardware) Students get hardware skills and can apply to making a robot system.
- (Introduction about Software) Students get the basic knowledge about programming and can apply to making a robot system.
- (System Integration) Students integrate their robot systems and can achieve their given task in this class.

The target goals 1 and 2 are evaluated with the draft drawing 1-4. The target goal 3 is evaluated with the short reports 1-4
and completeness of making each robot. The target goal 4 is evaluated with the short reports 5-9. The target goal 5 is evaluated
with the final report and the result of the robot competition. The final score depends on the all short reports (30 %), completeness
of making each robot (30 %), the final report (30 %), and the result of the robot competition (10 %). In additionally, some
original idea and unique creativity is evaluated (additionally 10 %). At last the final score is limited 100 points. Students
who get 60 % or over 60 % are passed.
