Defining the Problem

In the exciting world of VEX Robotics, every great project begins with a clear understanding of the problem at hand. As young engineers, it's crucial to develop the skill of problem definition - the first step in the engineering design process. This involves carefully analyzing the challenge presented, whether it's a competition task or a real-world issue, and breaking it down into specific, manageable components.

Defining the problem is like setting the foundation for your robotic creation. It requires asking important questions: What exactly needs to be accomplished? What are the constraints or limitations? What resources are available? By answering these questions, you'll gain a clearer picture of your goal and the path to achieve it. Remember, a well-defined problem is already halfway solved!
