\n++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
\nWe plan to resume our robotics camp this summer! It’s a mini-FRC sea son packed into a week. We’ll spend a day one getting up to speed. Kick-o ff (and the game reveal) will be at noon on day two with build continuing through the morning of day five. The competition will be day five. Campe rs will form teams to design and build their own robots using the Lego EV3 platform. Teams will compete both on robotics performance and their abili ty to explain their design\, strategy and approach to teamwork to judges w ho will visit them in their pits during the competition (just like at and FRC event).
\nCamp will run 8:30 to 12:30 Monday through Friday. The competition will start at 1:00 on Friday.
\nCheck the bIrobot websi te for additional details and to sign up to be notified when online regist ration becomes available.
