Program a robot and help it escape from a maze.

Students become familiar with basic electronic components used in robotic vehicles and explore how these components are hooked together.

Furthermore, students are introduced to programming by writing simple commands controlling the vehicles navigation.

The final goal of the workshop is to program a self-navigating robot which can avoid obstacles using various sensors.
