Partnership

Helix Robotics explores the exciting world of Lego Robots and Arduino computers.
Our group meets twice a week during the school year at the Helix School Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 PM until 5:00 PM. Our school is located in Helix, Oregon (population 184). We are primarily Middle School.

We have three groups: beginners, advanced, and school team: http://helixrobotics.wikispaces.com/ http://helixrobotics.wikispaces.com/BallHunter+PSP+page
 * The beginner group, (three teams) is learning how to construct and program robots built of Legos and programmed in the NXT-G language. We are guided by the Carnegie Mellon Robot Academy software.
 * The advanced group (two teams) is learning to control their robots using a Playstation 2 controller and an interface sold by Mindsensors.com
 * The school team (one team) is building and programming a robot for the First Lego League competition to be held in December, 2011. We are also preparing a 5 minute presentation on dealing with food contamination.
