Thanksgiving Break - Still Learning!

The Blog has been quiet this past week due to the holiday break but some of us were still learning.
While visiting North Carolina JackStone met Dr. Grant, a professor at NC State University. Dr. Grant is the Director of the Center for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (CRIM) at North Carolina State University and a former FIRST Robotics coach to boot!
JackStone learned a bit about modern robots and what scientists are getting them to do. Things like climbing uneven rubble, walking in snow and over ice, delivering drinks and avoiding humans are just a few of their activities.

Dr. Grant also said he uses Lego Mindstorms (what we use in FLL) to teach his students in the classroom.

Thanks Dr. Grant!
