Combat Robotics Summer Workshop Alachua
Build. Customize. Battle. Repeat.
Unleash your inner engineer in this high-energy, hands-on Combat Robotics Summer Workshop! Over 5 action-packed days, students will design, build, and customize their very own 1-pound plastic antweight combat robot—then test it in thrilling one-on-one matches.
This special summer edition combines the best of both our beginner and advanced workshops. Students will not only learn the fundamentals of wiring, motors, and radio control but also explore CAD and 3D printing to design custom parts and upgrade their battle bots.
