SUMMARY:Combat Robotics II: Tuesdays AM
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\n$150 Parts 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: 3/3\, 3/10\, 3/17\, 3/24\, 3/31\, 4/7⏰ Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm📍 Location: Edison Kids Innovation Center9300 Normandy Blvd\, Suite 508Jacksonville\, FL 32221 \nCost: $450 (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.
