REC Unit 3: Physics and Robotics reviews fundamental physics concepts such as speed and torque and shows how they apply to robotics. Students also learn about motors and how they are used in robotics by testing the Vex motors on the BaseBot and logging performance information into the engineering notebook. Topics like angular velocity, linear motion, gear ratios, weight, friction, torque and acceleration are all introduced and reinforced with activities related to robotics. The final project challenges students to pull a weighted sled with the BaseBot.
