Template and Scoring VIThe leader robot is also programmed inside a template, as shown in the Figure 3. This templatealso includes the scoring measurement of the total radians of movement of the leader robot. Thefinal score is calculated by multiplying the radians of movement by the percentage of the timethe follower was over the silver tape. This final scoring metric determines the amount ofmovement where the robots were “synchronized” (within the desired range of distance of eachother).Figure 3: Phase 1 Leader Robot Template and Scoring VI B. Competition RulesThe robots have 30 seconds to build up their score by traveling back and forth across a roundblack panel that has an approximate diameter of 4’ with 2” white ring around the outside

. Page 24.375.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Designing a Stage of “Romance” for Programs in Technological Literacy.AbstractIn previous paper in these proceedings* it was argued (a) that a liberal education that takes no account ofengineering and technological literacy cannot be by definition liberal, and (b) that programs of engineering andtechnological literacy can be designed to bridge the academic-vocational divide inherent in reports such as thatundertaken for the National Governors Association. In support of this argument a model curriculum based on theepistemologies of Macmurray and Newman was presented. It was necessarily integrated and trans-disciplinary, andit was argued that it
