I am a new coach for my school. I was needing ideas on how to start our meetings before we get the new robotics items in. They are on back order and we will not get them until the end of September. I know the students will need to know how to use the pieces and put together robots, so I am thinking practice builds for them. All the students are new to robotics this year so any tips or ideas will help!

One lesson that is immensley helpfull, both with my students, as well as when I was taught, was gear ratios. How they work, why they benefit mechanisms in some situations and how they are helpfull. But, it is VERY IMPORTANT to teach the numeric value of each gear, to make calculating gear ratios 10x easier, such as a 60t being a “5” a 24 being a “2” etc.
