My Project

I am starting a robotics club and I am looking for robotics kits that will help me introduce my team to different types of robot and machine building. Because my class is also a video production class, I plan to use a video of this model to become an instructional video. The video will help students practice building a simple robot before we jump into the version that requires us to build from scratch.

Our class will use this robot for the robotics team and create a demonstrative video of how to assemble the robot.

This robot will hopefully be something we use as a recruiting tool for Robotics club as well.
