Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which robotics kit is used in the classes?

A: In the LEGO Robotics class, we use the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education NXT Base Set. All equipment is provided.  In the Advanced LEGO Robotics class, students can bring their own kit or borrow a LEGO MINDSTORMS Education NXT Base Set and LEGO MINDSTORMS Education Resource Set from us.
 

Q: Do the students get to keep any of the projects?

A: Only if you are bringing your own kit to use. But we can help you pick out a robotics kit for use at home.
 

Q: Can I sign up for the Advanced LEGO Robotics class if I didn't take LEGO Robotics at Smart Fingers Robotics?

A: It depends, if you learned basic building and programming with LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT elsewhere.  Contact us to discuss your experience and get permission.
 

Q: Which programming software is used in the workshops?

A: In the LEGO Robotics class and Advanced LEGO Robotics class, we use the LEGO MINDSTORMS "NXT-G" Software.  In custom group workshops, we can use any of NXT-G, RoboLab, LabView for LEGO MINDSTORMS, NXC, or Robot C if students have their own laptop with the software installed.  Students can also use one of our laptops here with the NXT-G software.
 

Q: What if I miss a class, are make-up classes available?

A: For classes that meet weekly, students should plan on attending every class. The students will build on their knowledge from week to week. Limited opportunities for make-up classes on a different day may be available, contact us.
