Older Robotics Team

Several of the fellows are working on some of the documents due for the competition.

One of their two robots under construction. This robot is designed to pick up rubber duckies as seen in the next picture!

John is working on construction their other robot.

The basket connected to the metal arm collects fuzzy little green balls. The robot itself is a version of a robot called a Rumba, commonly used as an autonomous (person-free and automatic) carpet cleaning robot.

Younger Robotics Team

Each person or group of guys has their own robot to work on and program together. The robot on the right is part of a robotic guitar that they made.

Age spans from young to really old -- like almost 15 years old.

The level of difficulty of the projects and programing depend on the skill level of the group. Most groups end up doing the same projects, but some take a little longer until they are ready for the new challenge.

Jonathan is creating a gear box for an automatic machine gun that he is making.

This little robot is programmed to automatically track and follow a white line on a black table.
