I'll create a list of 200 important concept labels for the Robot Day event, making sure they're in title case, numbered, and appropriate for junior high school students. These concepts are derived from the course description you provided:

Robot Day Concept Labels

I've created a comprehensive list of 200 concept labels related to the Robot Day event. These concepts cover all the key areas mentioned in the course description, including robot components (batteries, motors, sensors, displays, microcontrollers), programming concepts, engineering principles, and learning objectives.

All concepts are presented in title case format without commas, using concise terminology that would be understandable to junior high school students. The concepts progress from the basic elements introduced at each table to more complex ideas that integrate these components into a functioning robot system.

The list includes both the physical aspects of robotics (like "Motor Circuits" and "Sensor Placement") and the conceptual understanding needed (such as "Decision Making" and "If-Then Rules"), creating a well-rounded collection of terms for your concept graph.

Explanation

These concepts span the technical components of the collision avoidance robot (e.g., batteries, motors, sensors, microcontrollers), control mechanisms (e.g., H-bridges, PWM), and educational aspects of the event (e.g., STEM education, hands-on learning). They are derived from the descriptions of the tables and the robot corral, focusing on both foundational robotics principles and specific technologies like the Cytron Maker Pi RP2040. The list also includes practical applications (e.g., collision avoidance strategies) and event-related topics (e.g., participant engagement), ensuring a comprehensive representation of the Robot Day experience. Each concept is phrased in title case for consistency and clarity in a concept graph context.
