DIY workshop 2020

The fourth RoboCup self-construction workshop took place from October 5 to 9 under the prevailing hygiene rules. Just before the deadline. Two weeks later, it should have taken place online.

So now it was a mixed workshop: instead of sawing-drilling-screwing-soldering-tinkering, there was a kit that could have been assembled at home. This was accompanied by a first video, so that the speaker, Andreas Scheel, could first turn his attention to the old hands, while the front rows were busy assembling. The students had access to the construction instruction video, which was filmed especially for this purpose, via their PCs. Equipped with headsets, they were all able to assemble their vehicles at their own pace.

Some pupils explicitly mentioned the independent work as a very positive aspect of the workshop. The video can therefore not only be used at home, online, but is also excellently suited for the classroom.

The theory units were each introduced by watching a corresponding video of the overall tutorial. This is intended to introduce the topic and also demonstrate complex relationships. Here, too, it was of course possible to work autonomously: pause the video to view graphics in more detail, repeat parts to make sure I had understood everything.

Afterwards, questions were discussed with the students and the material was also deepened.
