Robot Build Project
This project is for selected kids in our program who we feel are ready for a more complicated challenge. It involves building a robot, learning to program it and then designing their own. Students will learn to solder and be able to fabricate their own designs with our 3D printers and laser cutter.
Cost: Parents selecting this option should consult with the instructor to see if your child is ready for this type of challenge. In addition to the hardware required, a $50.00 materials fee is payable for consumables.
The project kit includes: the ElecFreak Smart Car kit, ElecFreak joystick kit, and all necessary parts to complete the robotic arm challenge.
