Students learn the detailed functioning of motor signals and power systems, basic electrical circuits, how servos and stepper motors work at a technical level, 3D printing for custom robot parts, and soldering electronics. Special projects might include robotic navigation, working with sensors like sonar, infrared distance sensors, and April Tags for robot awareness and positioning. Projects become more ambitious and student-directed, allowing learners to pursue their specific interests whether that’s competition robotics, practical automation, or creative robotic art.
- Deep dives into motor control, sensors, and power systems
- Fabrication practice with 3D printing and soldering
- Project tracks for competition robotics, automation, and creative builds
The Robot Garage prepares students for participation in robotics competitions and provides skills directly applicable to careers in robotics engineering, automation, and mechatronics.
