The HPMS Robotics Club document outlines two projects for the club. Project 1 involves using Lego Mindstorm robots to complete an obstacle course at a Skills BC competition. It requests $2800 for robots, computers, and software. Project 2 uses Sphero balls for a competition at InquiryHub Secondary. It requests funding for a 12 pack of Sphero SPRK balls, covers, and a charging station totaling under $2000 to introduce students to maker education.
3. $500 for 2 compatible portable computers
$1600 for 4 robots
$800 for 2 double sided scenario mats
$300 for Lego software licenses

8. Hosted by InquiryHub Secondary School In Coquitlam
Offers exposure to:
their MakerSpace setup

Project 2: Sphero Competition
2 projects to talk about heres the first one which is called lego mindstorms
If our group wants to compete in the competition this year we will need about $4500-$5000 to get everything we need.
I am working with some post secondary students
Here is the next one called sphero
This will be very useful for those who are just learning how to hack and program different robots
We are interested in the sphero as well, mainly with the goal of using it to help grade 7’s and 8’s to learn to hack and program it with its easy hack ability and to learn how to program it as it is extremely easy to program as well.
