1. Engineering Design
Central Concepts: Engineering design involves practical problem
solving, research, development, and invention/innovation, and requires
designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should
demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a
problem or meet a challenge.
1.1 Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process: identify the
problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible
solution(s), construct prototypes and/or models, test and evaluate, communicate the
solutions, and redesign.

Student : Share your ideas with your design team. List your ideas below.
1.a small robot with a lot of torque so its quick and powerful
2.a robot with a lifting mechanism so it can flip over the
opponent
3. a large, heavy robot with a lot of torque so it has power
and no other robot can move or push it
Step 4

Possible solution(s)
Design idea #1
Pro:
I made a small robot with a lot of torque so it has power to push
other robots and its quick and agile.
Con:
It is very light so other larger robots can probably push it with
ease.
Step 5
Construct a prototype
Use the next slide(s) for your digital pictures of your prototypes.
If the robot fails the design must be modified and retested.
