You're familiar with FLL, but what about a new spin on robotics competitions? Learn to program a robot to play soccer! Join us this summer for an introduction to the world of Robot Soccer Junior Competition. While you do need to have prior experience with NXT robotics, you will get everything else you need to guide your robot to glory in Robo-Soccer competitions! Using multiple sensors you'll program your robot to play soccer using Mindstorm. Not only will you learn about state and national robotics competitions while competing in Robo-Soccer, you and your robot will get to train under the guidance of experts in the field of robotics education. Don't miss this week filled with non-stop competitions and excitement! Co-sponsored with Learning Through Robotics.
