FTC SIM: The Art of Precision: Perfect Robot Movements (Gr. 4-8)

Description

Dive deeper into precision movements with this lesson in the FTC Simulator, focusing on the intricate control of movements using rotary encoders. This lesson transitions from traditional power-driven commands to the fine-tuned operation of rotary encoders, offering students hands-on experience in programming for precision. They will learn the fundamentals of encoder integration, exploring how to program these motors to control the robot’s parts with high precision. Through practical exercises, students will master the art of using encoders for detailed tasks, such as precise positioning and controlled movements, enhancing their robots’ capabilities.

Learning Objectives

In the lesson, students will:

  • Understand the operational principles of rotary encoders and their advantages in robotics.
  • Program rotary encoders in the FTC Simulator to achieve precise control over robot movements.
  • Enhance problem-solving skills by tackling real-world scenarios that require precise movement and control.
