Each Hands-On Training session is limited to 12 coaches.
Please email LeRoy@LARobotics.org if you plan to attend a Hands-On Training session.
Coaches will be working with Generation 2 VEX IQ robot kits.
Please bring a tablet or laptop computer with Wi-Fi and an available USB port that you can use to program a robot:
System Requirements.
Please contact LeRoy if you would like to host a Hands-On Training session.
If your team got a late start, here are two ways to prepare for a league that is starting soon:
- Build and practice driving a Clawbot and bring that to compete
- Build Clawbot:
Build Instructions
- The Clawbot is much easier to build than a Hero Bot
- Your team could build the Clawbot in about two hours
- Your team could finish building the robot at the event
- Your team would learn more and have more fun if they choose this way
- If this way does not work for your team, then switch to the other way
- Skip the first session
- Your team would miss the opportunity to observe the robots and driving strategies of other teams
- Your team would still be eligible to participate in the Teamwork Finals matches
