Our recruitment process
We will start our off-season training soon, which is a gentle and fun introduction to robotics, where you will get to build and program a robot yourself and learn the critical concepts of robotics! There will be an opportunity to join the team for the competition season towards the end of the training.
The course will be taught with Arduino and Python and will cover the fundamental concepts of robot design and programming. The classes will be held at our team garage and the Foster City Library.
More About The Summer Training
The training program is for all students who would like to pursue robotics as a hobby. We will finalize the 2023-2024 season’s team in August 2023. If you are interested in joining the competition season, we highly recommend joining our training.
We are keeping the class size small, to ensure high-quality instruction.
The courses will be taught by the experienced team members of Vortex Robotics, and the classes will be facilitated by the coaches.
Topics Covered
There will be three topics covered in three weeks.
Week 1:
Understand the fundamentals of robot design and hardware. You will learn about fundamental concepts of robot design such as the different components and how they work. You will also work with the team members to build your robot.
Week 2:
Unlock the potential of your robot by programming it with Python! You will learn the basic concepts of programming and you will be able to apply it to your robot.
Week 3:
Learn some new advanced robotics related concepts and review everything learned in the previous lessons. We will play some games like Kahoot to review the concepts and you will have time to ask questions and clear up any confusions.
