SUMMARY:Combat Robotics II: Fridays PM
DESCRIPTION:Combat Robotics II: Design\, Upgrade & Compete\n  \nTake Your Robot to the Next Level!\nReady to move beyond the basic build and start thinking like a real engineer? In Combat Robotics II\, students continue their combat robotics journey by redesigning\, upgrading\, and refining their existing 1 lb plastic ant-weight robot for improved performance and competition. \nThis 6-week workshop focuses on intentional design\, problem-solving\, and iteration. Students analyze how their robot performs\, identify weaknesses\, and make strategic upgrades while working within real-world engineering constraints\, including a 1 lb weight limit and a built-in parts budget. Rather than starting from scratch\, students learn how engineers improve designs over time—making smart tradeoffs and decisions along the way. \nDesigned for students who have completed the beginner combat robotics workshop\, this program strengthens students’ engineering skills and competitive experience in the Edison Robotics League (ERL). \n\nWhat Students Will Learn\n\n\nHow to evaluate robot performance and identify design weaknesses \n\n\nHow to redesign and upgrade specific systems (armor\, wheels\, motors\, structure) \n\n\nHow to manage a budget and weight limit like real engineers \n\n\nHow to test\, iterate\, and improve designs intentionally \n\n\nHow to document decisions as part of an engineering design portfolio \n\n\n\nWhat’s Included\n\n\nParts Budget Included – Students receive a built-in budget to purchase approved upgrade parts for their robot \n\n\nHands-On Engineering Instruction – Guided by experienced robotics mentors \n\n\nDesign & Testing Time – Structured redesign\, build\, and test sessions \n\n\nCompetition Prep – Skills that directly prepare students for league-level battles \n\n\nPortfolio Foundations – Students begin documenting their engineering decisions and growth \n\n\n\nProgram Details\n📅 Workshop Dates: 4/17\, 4/24\, 5/8\, 5/15\, 5/29⏰ Time: 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm📍 Location: Edison Kids Innovation Center9300 Normandy Blvd\, Suite 508Jacksonville\, FL 32221 \nCost: $400 (Step Up For Students Direct Provider)Pre-requisite:Must have completed the Combat Beginners Workshop \n\nWhat Makes This Workshop Different\n\n\nStudents do not build a new robot—they learn how to improve an existing one \n\n\nEvery upgrade must fit within budget and weight constraints \n\n\nEmphasis is placed on engineering thinking\, not just winning battles \n\n\nPerfect for students interested in robotics\, engineering\, or problem-solving \n\n\n\nThis Is Just the Beginning\nDesigned for students continuing their combat robotics journey\, Combat Robotics II enhances both engineering skills and competitive experience for those participating in the Edison Robotics League. \nSpaces are limited.Upgrade your robot. Sharpen your skills. Think like an engineer. \nLearn. Design. Compete. Improve.

SUMMARY:Beginner Combat Robotics Summer Workshop June 8-11
DESCRIPTION:Beginner Combat Robotics Summer Workshop\nBuild • Drive • Compete \nStep into the world of real combat robotics. \nIn 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. \nThis is not a simulation—this is real.Students will compete in a live mini-tournament at the end of the week. \n👉 And they take their robot home. \n\n📅 Workshop Details\nDates: June 8–11  (July 6 – 9)Time: 1:00 PM–4:00 PMPrice: $650 (includes robot to keep)Format: 4-day intensive workshopRecommended Ages: 8 years old and aboveLocation: Edison Kids Innovation Center\, Normandy Blvd\, Jacksonville \n\n🔧 What Students Will Do\n\nBuild a working combat robot using a proven kit\nLearn how motors\, wheels\, and weapon systems work\nPractice driving and controlling their robot\nTest and improve their design\nCompete in a live combat robotics tournament\n\n\n🧠 What Students Will Learn\n\nEngineering fundamentals (structure\, movement\, durability)\nProblem-solving and iteration\nStrategy and decision-making under pressure\nMechanical systems and design trade-offs\nConfidence in hands-on building\n\n\n🏆 The Final Challenge\nAt the end of the week\, students will enter a mini combat robotics tournament\, where they will: \n\nDrive their robot in real matches\nCompete against other students\nApply strategy and skill\nExperience the excitement of competition\n\n\n🧰 What’s Included\n✔ Complete combat robot kit✔ All tools and materials✔ Coaching and instruction✔ Tournament experience✔ Robot to take home \n\n🎮 No Experience Needed\nThis workshop is beginner-friendly.Students do not need prior robotics experience—just a willingness to build\, learn\, and compete. \n\n💥 Why Families Love This Workshop\nThis is one of our most popular programs because students don’t just learn—they build something real and test it in action. \nThey leave with: \n\nA working robot\nNew engineering skills\nIncreased confidence\nA competitive experience they won’t forget\n\n\n🎯 A Great Fit For Students Who Love\n\nBuilding and taking things apart\nRobots and machines\nCompetition and strategy\nHands-on challenges\nEngineering and design\n\n\n🚀 Where This Leads\nThis workshop is the perfect entry point into: \n👉 Combat Robotics League👉 Advanced Robotics Workshops👉 Engineering Pathways at Edison Kids \n\n⚠️ Important Notes\n\nRobots are designed for safe\, beginner-level competition\nSafety rules and supervision are strictly enforced\nLimited spots available due to materials and equipment\nStep Up For Students Scholarship Accepted\n\n\n🔥 Call to Action\nSpots are limited and this workshop fills quickly. \n👉 Register now to secure your child’s place in Beginner Combat Robotics Intensive
