Advanced Mechanics & Engineering Design Training

A 5-day or 10 half days intensive hands-on robotics bootcamp focused on FTC robot mechanics and engineering design. Students will build and test real robot mechanisms, learn practical mechanical solutions used in competition robots, and develop strong engineering problem-solving skills. 

​

Led by experienced coaches and student leaders.

​

What You Will Learn

​

• Robot structure and system design
• Motors, servos, gears, sensors, and controllers integration
• Build and test different catapult / launching mechanisms
• Assemble continuous and cascaded slide systems
• Practical and efficient FTC mechanical designs
• Fuzzy PID control concepts for robot operation
• Reverse Engineering and innovation thinking
• Presentation skills
• How to organize and run a successful robotics team

Perfect For
