FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACEBOOK - Ada High School's VEX Engineering Design class recently worked with robots.
Students in the class programed VEX robots to autonomously pick up one ping pong ball and drop it into the can, then using the remote control to pick up another ping pong ball and drop it in the can.
These actions simulate the VEX competition events where 15 seconds of the competition is autonomous and 45 seconds is completed by remote control.
