AMC Robotics was founded in August 2020. We are a dedicated group of students passionate about STEM and excited to build great things this year. 

Accel Middle college is a highschool on a community college campus, and is the result of a collaboration between Evergreen Valley Highschool and Evergreen Valley College

We are a beginner team from Tec de Monterrey
 

I am taking the iphone 4 apart and diagraming.

This is an essay written by our VEX Robotics Team.  They dismantled a laptop and researched the components.  This was a challenge for the students because all of the work was done virtually, never meeting in person, but they did a great job.

We are team 8086Y from Glen Allen, VA

We are 2211A, a middle school team from Puerto Rico. For this challenge we took apart a Monoprice Select Mini V2 3D Printer.  We are excited to share our findings and show the details inside a 3d printer. 

We are Emma, Deonna, and Mia and we are on team 74177Z, a team of six girls from Pinecrest Sloan Canyon. This is our second year competing. For this project, we have deconstructed a Panasonic DLP projector. We were determined to find a device with TI components inside, and we were lucky enough to receive a giant ten-year-old projector that used to be installed at a casino in Las Vegas as a donation. It was a challenge to work together on this project while apart, but we had many Zoom meetings and shared documents so we could still work together and discuss. This was a huge task, but...

My name is Tyler. I have deconstructed the Samsung Galaxy Tab A for this project.

We are a team from Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon located in Henderson, Nevada. This is our second year competing in the Vex IQ competition. For this project we deconstructed and studied an Apple AirPort Extreme Model A1143. During the process we learned how the device funsctions and how it send signals to other devices. 

I chose a Motorola flip phone. I found it sitting around our house and I had never
seen a phone like this before. I thought it would be cool to take it apart. The phone is a MPx 220. It was made in 2005 and was considered a "smartphone." This was before Apple invented the iPhone and what we think of as a smartphone today.

Entering the TI Electronics Online Challenge. Part of Sweet Home High School SHEAR. The device taken apart is LED Digital Clock.

We disassembled a Samsung POWERbot electronic vacuum for the Texas Instruments Electronics Challenge. We chose to disassemble the vacuum because we would learn about more modern technology. Learning about modern technology would be more useful in the real world because everything nowadays is more digital and less mechanical. We would also have a better chance of applying what we learned to build our own robots that do tasks.

I had a great time working on taking apart of this cellphone. 

We worked as a team to deconstruct this calculator. It was a challenge to do so because of social distancing. We never met face to face only via zoom. We both learned a lot. 

We are team 1104A of the Brampton Robotics Organization, part of the Discobots alliance.

This is our entry to the Electronic Online Challenge Sponsored by Texas Instruments.

For our entry, we decided to open up the Samsung Galaxy S III (model SGH-i747M) to explore the technology found within old mobile platforms. Surprised by the level of sophistication from technology 8 years ago, we decided to make a write-up on our findings.

The report was set in LaTeX (we used Overleaf to...

We are Team Navy Knights and we have decided to take apart the Vex Cortex.

The Nintendo Wii. One of the most infamous early age videogame consoles following the Nintendo GameCube, Xbox 360, and the PlayStation3. Nearly everyone in the 2000’s had one and anyone who didn’t wanted one. Of course, having the opportunity to use this console for our project, we took it and proceeded to disassemble the Wii.

The first thing we see is the optical drive and its board. The optical drives board has 16 megabits of SDRAM and computes and sends information to the Wiis motherboard. The motherboard is just passed the metal casing right under...

STEM Electronics Summary

  G-Shock, a watch brand owned by Casio that calls itself “The Unbreakable Watch”. Why does it call itself that? To answer that, that is why we did this STEM challenge. In this challenge, we are dismantling a Baby G-Shock 2017 Model watch to figure out the components that cause it to stay unbreakable and to work.

  We found many pieces inside the watch. Those pieces include four screws that we took out to go into the watch. Inside it, we found three layers of protective cases that are found at the beginning of the...
