PTW: Combat Robotics Demo

[Barbara Ellis]

Is there a recommended age for the demo and class? Braden and Peirce have been begging to stop by. I started grad school in January and have class on Wednesday and Thursday night, and we enrolled them in Laurel Springs, an online school based in California, so Wednesdays are a bit hectic. We've been following the discussion threads and would love to check out new courses. Also, is there a schedule of classes for the summer?

Hi Barbara, I hope you're able to stop by for our little robot night. The robots are small, but they are intended to fight - so as with anything, without proper safety, it's possible to get hurt. Also, the class would involve some light fabrication consisting of a little cutting and drilling most likely.

But at the same time, I've known kids of almost all ages to be involved in building and competing. So the key is proper adult supervision just to make sure nobody gets hurt.

I'm currently hashing out a course structure, but it's likely to be offered during the summer. Thanks for asking and we hope to see you folks come out for PTW!
