Beginner Combat Robotics Summer Workshop June 8-11

Beginner Combat Robotics Summer Workshop

Build • Drive • Compete

Step into the world of real combat robotics.

In this 4-day intensive workshop, students will design, build, and battle their very own combat robot. Guided by experienced coaches, students will learn how robots are built for competition, how to control them in the arena, and how to think like an engineer under pressure.

This is not a simulation—this is real.
Students will compete in a live mini-tournament at the end of the week.

👉 And they take their robot home.
