Robot Garage
In the LEAGUE’s robot garage, students study topics in robotics from the ground up, working on robotics projects that incorporate motors, microcontrollers, cameras digital communications, mechanical components and sensors. Advanced students learn about machine vision, kinematics and motion control.
Learn to build and program robotsThe Robot Garage is a self paced program, with a few common lessons on basic topics, but primarily involving students building and programming a project. Students have programmed industrial robotic arms, built face detecting cameras, and several small mobile robots, using Arduino and Micro:bit microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi computers. Some advanced students are building neural networks to predict ballistic trajectories, while beginners start with programming lights to blink and motors to move.
FIRST FRC and FTC Programming Clinic
For Summer 2025 we will be running programming clinics for FIRST FRC and FTC teams. In these free classes, students can improve their Python and Java skills, get familiar with the FIRST programming tools and environments, and learn advanced techniques like PID control, filtering AI, April tags and route planning. We’re still planning the program, so we are looking for robotics students to take the class, volunteer student instructors and adult sponsors.
