Introduction

In this Unit, students will learn how to play in the Mars Math Expedition VEX GO Competition with the Competition Advanced Hero Robot! To begin, students will build the Competition Advanced Hero Robot and get ready to drive. Each subsequent Lesson in the Unit will guide you and your students through the tasks and scoring for a stage of the Expedition. The Unit concludes with the Mars Math Expedition Competition, where students apply what they have learned throughout the Unit to develop a scoring strategy and compete!
