Introduction to VRC (First VEX Experience)
This is first of the two prerequisite classes to join our high school robotics competition teams.
First Vex Experience is a preparatory course for students moving up to a VEX Competition team. The course is required to join a competition team in the fall. Students will learn the basics of constructing a VEX Competition robot. They will work to construct a drive train, lift, and object manipulator using aluminum. Best practices of robot construction will be introduced.
While onsite, students will be cutting metal with drills, rotary tools, jigsaws, and band saws. This is a true lab and students will need to adhere to safety procedures/behavior. All power tool usage will be directly supervised by an adult.
Fees for classes using metal robots are higher because metal will be cut and electronics break at a much higher rate than with the plastic VEX IQ robots
The nine week class will have no more than 14 students.
