Forms:
The aesthetic form that most closely fits what I do in the classroom is a product. Something "made," I can think of no better way to show that you truly understand robotics, then to make a robot. But, I have found that it is more than the robot itself. It is the total experience. At first my advanced underwater robotics class was all about making an underwater robot or ROV capable of diving to 125' in saltwater and video taping airplanes that crashed during WWII. Now it is much more. It is a year long experience where students raise funds, promote the project. Speak to audiences outside the school and communicate directly with professionals outside of school. People from the government, academia, industry and the military. Students spend a lot of time outside of scheduled class time working on this project and look for ways to get out of other classes in school to work on the project.
