  • Abstraction, Writing control psuedocode for the printers
  • Discussing examples of Good Design and Bad Design
  • Feedback and Control Systems
  • Mechanical Transmissions
  • Control and Programming Case Study: The wall-following car
  • Project 2 conclusion, demonstrations
  • Lego gear and geartrain physics
