Welcome to the PhysAPlast! à Subject to change (of course)!!!! In addition to converting sunlight to chemical energy, it's your guide for what we're doing up through the AP Physics exams. Please pay close attention and if you are missing class (for any reason) it will be your responsibility to get the work to me on time.

The Ohio State Freshman Engineering Honors program’s robot competition is on Saturday, April 6. Although the time shown is from 12-6 PM, normally the public competition is from 4:15-6:15 PM. I’ll check it out, but I’d encourage you to go! At least two AP Physics C alumni will be competing!

Robotics Competition Students create robots that complete specified tasks on a course designed and built by the program’s teaching assistants. Each year has a different course and theme to give each class of students a unique experience in applying their knowledge and skills to a simulated real-world situation. The 2018 competition challenges the teams to prepare a pit stop area for an upcoming car race. As part of their coursework, teams of four students work for approximately 8 weeks designing, building, coding, and documenting autonomous robots to meet the challenge. The project culminates with this final public competition, an in-class oral report, and a thorough documentation package. At the competition, robots have up to 2 minutes to complete the tasks on the course, and points are associated with each task. All robots compete in three round robin matches, where 3 or 4 robots run simultaneously, and those accumulating the most points are recognized for being the most consistent robots. In the case of a tie, time is used as a tie-breaker. For the head-to-head competition, the teams are seeded based upon previous in-class performance and attempt to advance through a tournament-style bracket. Four robots compete at a time, with only the highest-scoring team advancing to the next round. Again, in the case of a tie, time is used to determine a winner. The robots who make it to the “final four” receive special recognition.

2018 FEH Honors Robot Competition Saturday, April 6, 2019, 12:00 pm (round robin) and 4:15 pm (head-to-head) Venue: Davis Gymnasium, Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC), 337 Annie and John Glenn Ave
