Level 2 of 4
Robotics Engineering
Bring circuits to motion. Students assemble and program a robot that drives, turns and reacts to its surroundings.

Overview
About this level
Level 2 turns electronics into movement. Students learn how motors and drivers work, assemble a 2-wheel-drive chassis, and program it to drive, turn and avoid obstacles. They add servo and stepper motors, then combine sensors with motion so the robot can follow a line and steer around walls on its own — the first fully autonomous build of the programme.
Hands-on
Projects you'll build
- Drive & steer a 2WD robot with an L298N driver
- Servo-swept ultrasonic obstacle avoidance
- Infrared line-following robot
- Speed & direction control from sensor input
- Capstone: Autonomous 2WD Robot
By the end
What students can do
- Explain how DC, servo and stepper motors work
- Wire and control motors through an L298N driver
- Assemble a robot chassis and manage power/battery
- Program drive, turn and speed logic
- Fuse sensor data with motion for autonomous behaviour
