2. Robotics Prototype Design

Task: Create a paper or cardboard prototype of your robot (e.g. waste-collection robot),
showing its parts: wheels, camera/vision sensor, controller, etc.
Skills Practised:
Prototyping and modelling
Logical sketching and presentation
Hands-on design thinking

Outcome for Session 2: Develop practical understanding of robot design through modelling
and identification of key blocks.

Session 3: Simulation and Automation

Activities:
1 VEXcode VR Navigation
Task: Code a VEX VR robot to navigate the Number Grid Map and reach specific city zones
such as Market, School or Park. Use sensors and conditional logic.

Skills Practised:
Using conditions and loops
Applying sensing commands
Controlling robot motion on a grid

2. VEXcode VR Data Logger Task
Task: Create a block-based project that logs detected waste categories and recommends
disposal zones. Simulate detection with colour/number tiles.

Skills Practised:
Simulating input events with colour/number tiles
Mapping detected waste types to recommended disposal zones

Outcome for Session 3: Integrate virtual robotics programming with logic and data processing
to simulate smart city automation behaviour.
