Robot Assembly and Programming Concepts

In this lesson, Greg French guides students through the assembly of an obstacle avoidance robot. The session covers the components needed, including Arduino Nano, servos, and a breadboard, and the tools required for assembly. Students learn to install servos and wheels on a 3D-printed chassis, set up the battery and breadboard, and attach an ultrasonic sensor. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next session, which will focus on wiring and programming the robot for obstacle avoidance.
