Lesson: Faraday Golfing Machine

Overview: 
This lesson gives students an opportunty to build a relatively complex structure from the NXT kit that uses a wide variety of components (the 9797 kit soccer/golf attachment). Students are then introduced to Faraday's Law and use this knowledge and their structural building skills to create a Faraday Golfing machine.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

1. Describe examples of how robotics components interact to achieve desired functionality

2. Explain Faraday's Law

3. Build an NXT-based golfing machine
