Robotics Course - July 13 - July 24

Robotics Course group picture.

Buddies from school
One of Andrew's buddies from school had a connection to this amazing program offered this summer at Pitzer College in Claremont.  He gets to learn how to program and build robots.  They are teaching the fundamentals of mechanics, technology, engineering and mathematics.  He is so excited to bring dad's laptop to class and learn how to program a robot to do various things.  There was a guest speaker the first day, Walter Martinez who has competed on Battlebots 8 times.  He has also done work on the Transformer movie and many commercials and t.v. shows.  It was really interested in hear what he had to say about the future of robots.

Working on programming their robot.
