Robotics Video Worksheet - great for a sub day or quick time filler
If you need a 15 min time filler in robotics class this is a great worksheet. It has links to 6 robotics videos and reflections for each. You could do the entire worksheet in a 90 min sitting. However I think it's best used as a quick time filler of 15 min. Or watch a few on a day you have to have a sub. Keep the worksheet then hand out again to work on the next video when the time is right. Videos are about the variety of robotics applications in present time and the future.

Gear Ratios Lecture
This is a basic lecture for Gear Ratios in VEX EDR/V5 . All of my downloads are no frills and no fuss. They are just items I use in class that I'm trying to share with others. This lecture is 24 slides long. It explains how gears work, how to calculate a gear ratio (There are several ways/methods to do this. I teach this in the way I've found my high school students can understand and apply to their robots).Teachers would need a basic understanding of ratios, fraction simplification and gear

How to Use ROBOT C Notes
This is a note sheet for how to use ROBOT C. Included is a blank sheet for students to fill out as well as a teacher answer for the guided notes. Students can keep this with them as they work on coding their robots through ROBOT C. This covers all the basics to make the system work. It goes along with PLTW with the cortex system. (This note sheet is 2 pages.)I had a lot of success with this note sheet as students better understood the program and having a document they can look at while they cod

VEX Generic Scouting Sheet 1 - In the Zone
Scouting at VEX tournaments is an important part of a successful team. This is one of the scouting sheets our team uses for the current years competition - In the Zone. We are the 2017 VEX Oregon State Champion and would not have been able to achieve this without great scouting. This will download as a fully editable excel spreadsheet.
