Unfortunately, we need to cancel plans for our summer robotics plant. Our mentors and students are over-subscibed with work and projects this summer, so we will not have time to organize a full camp. We are working to plan a two-day “get to know robotics” session later in August or September for students on the island. Please visit our website at birobot.org for more information.
We plan to resume our robotics camp next summer!

We are working on plans for our summer robotics camp. Right now, it looks like we will have enough older students to be mentors and run the camp. We plan to run a mini FRC season (in a week) and use VEX VR and the related physical robots for the competition.
Check back in May for final details and sign-up information.
