Robot Kits
In the course, we are using the Botball
robot kits available from the KISS Institute
for Practical Robotics (KIPR). KIPR has a web page with
curriculum materials for Botball participants here. This
site has links to information about the parts of the kit, the
programming languages used, and suggested exercises.
In the course, we'll be using the Handy Board and the Lego RCX brick.
The Handy Board is programmed in Interactive C (IC). You can
find the Interactive C manual for the Handy Board here.
The RCX brick will be programmed in Not Quite C (NQC).
Documentation for NQC can be found here.
Some unofficial information about the internals of the RCX can be
found here.
