Summer Camps
Registration is now open for Summer 2024 Camps.
BatSuBot Camp
Open to students entering Grades 9-12
BatSuBot camp session will be June 25, 26, 27, 2024.
This is one camp you don’t want to skip out on: the BatSuBot Competition. A combination of BattleBot and SumoBot robotic competitions, we challenge you to design, build, and operate a robot that can force opponents’ robots out of the ring. This camp will have an engineering and manufacturing emphasis. Day one, campers guided by a mechanical engineering instructor, will use solid modeling software to design a complete 3D model of their robot. Day two includes a tour of a local manufacturing company where students can see their designs fabricated on CNC laser machines. The goal for the second day is to have the robot assembled. The last day of camp students will troubleshoot their robots and practice driving. The grand finale of the camp is a double elimination tournament which is open to the public.
