Starting A New High School Ez Robot Curriculum

I am completely new to the EZ Robot world and plan to start a robotics class using EZ Robot. I have another class where I teach LEGO Mindstorms robotics. I will be ordering the JD, Roli, and Six kits this summer in preparation for the new class. If anyone has suggestions on how I should approach my new curriculum, your guidance will be very much appreciated. I begin writing my new curriculum in July (and must finish it in July, too). I welcome any suggestions.

:) Yea, my son complained until he got his first programming job. He now wishes he were taking exams. They normally have him working on 4 large projects at a time with deadlines set by people who have no clue what it takes to do the programming for the projects. I told him I remember those days all too well. He only works 1/2 days most days. He gets to decide which 12 hours of the day that is. He also uses weekends to catch up on the projects so that he doesn't feel totally behind. He is finishing school while doing this. I keep telling him he is earning his come-up-in's. He remembers me working the same way when he was a young kid until he graduated from High School.

Grats on finishing up. Exciting times are awaiting you.

Search EzRobots on Youtube there are many video that can help with Calibration, Following color, etc.

You can build a curriculum using the videos! That's what I did for my 5th graders that we use the robots. Good Luck

FYI - I find that these robots are not very durable for school use. Let me know what you think!

This thread was started four years ago, but thanks for your response.  You are right about the durability aspect.  I have had to replace several parts since I started using the robots.
