New workshop!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1039 of 1055 |

Hi all,

 

We’re back again with another robotics workshop. We’ve had good turnouts so far, but more of you need to come along! Great things will be happening at this next one, as we’re not too far away from the RoboLeague event in early August!

 

The workshop is this Sunday (the 5th of July) at Griffith University Nathan Campus. Building N44, room -1.16 (that’s negative one point one six) starting at 1pm!

 

 

Bring your robots, no matter what state their in! This workshop we will be covering the following:

 

- Soldering 101
- Motor Control
- Sensor Interfacing
- Robot Construction
- Cocky Bots!
- Line Following

- Sumo Training

- Special Appearances

 

Soldering 101

Not completely comfortable/fluent with soldering? It comes in handy with robotics, so we’ll be showing people how to master the art!

 

Motor Control

Every good robot needs motors to do its thing! We’ll show you how to get your project moving!

 

Sensor Interfacing

Is your robot deaf and blind? Let’s fix that!

 

Robot Construction

Got your circuits worked out but are stumped for how to build the frame to house it? We’ve got you covered.

 

Cocky Bots!

Alex’s cockroach bots will be being built en-masse ready for the open day! Join in and learn a thing or two about robotics while you’re at it! (bring some cash and you can buy your own kit to take home!)

 

Line Following

Brett will have his fantastic line follower practice tiles with him, so you can test out your creations!

 

Sumo Training

The LEGO Mindstorms SumoBot trainer will be present for you to train your SumoBot in the ring! We’ll also have programming experts from most microcontroller fields present to help you iron out any AI difficulties!

 

Special Appearances

As always, the RoboLeague mascot, Pleo, the robot dinosaur, will be making an appearance. He loves his cuddles, so come along at LEAST to give him one! Also, appearances will be made by many of the RoboLeague MiniSumo contestants. The infamous TM-3050 Kodiak and the mighty Crushinator XJ-2K will be there, nutting it out, as well as several other competitors.

 

 

So come on down! Don’t be shy! We have robotics for all skill levels! We’ll get you started out with ease!

 

Remember! This Sunday (5th of July) at Griffith Uni! Can’t find your way around on the day? Give Alex a call on 0438 107 679.
