Lesson: EV3 - Faraday Golfing Machine

Overview: 
This lesson gives students an opportunity to build a relatively complex structure from the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® kit that uses a wide variety of components. 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 EV3-based golfing machine
