course1. Most approaches toinstruction in robot design focus on subsystem design followed by a common design project(typically involving a competition). While this method provides students with experience indesigning a robot to achieve certain objectives, there is often a distinct lack of rigor in the designprocess itself, with only success in the final competition as the metric by which the studentsevaluate their overall performance. Due to this ‘goal-minded’ behavior, students often resort toad hoc methods for design, losing sight of the principles of the discipline.To alleviate this problem, we provide students with an opportunity to develop their own designproject and then carry it out as part of a course on mobile robot design.
