Steps to Becoming and Engineer – RS

The VEX Robo Rally unit is where me and my classmates learned how to build and move a robot. The robot we made was a speed bot, which we focused more on speed than anything else. We had trouble with the parts because we were missing a ton of them; we still managed to make it work. We also learned how to draft or write down our process and plans so others can come back, and clearly understand and do what we did.

VEX Robo Rally taught me a lot, the knowledge I got can help me with my future. For instance, it taught me how to how to document my thoughts and plans neatly. It also helped me to work with others incase something went wrong or if the plans randomly changed. This is helpful because I want to become an engineer or builder down the road.
