Course Description
Robot Engineer
Formerly Robot Mechanic
Grades: 4th-7th
Cost: $295/week (Mon-Fri 9-4pm)
There are 2 similar versions of this camp: Robot Engineer- ATR and Robot Engineer- ARM. For summer 2021, Robot Engineer-ATR is offered at our HPPC location and Robot Engineer-ARM is offered at our BTPC & GSES location. Both versions build the Dodeca Solar Hydraulic robot in addition to their ATR or ARM robot.
Robot Engineer- ARM:
Your camper will complete tons of great building projects with our fully hands-on robot builds! Your camper will build the Robotic ARM Edge and the Dodeca 12 in 1 Solar Hydraulic Robot. If time allows, our Robot Engineers will also learn to solder when they build the Blinky Robot!
The Robotic Arm Edge is the perfect learning tool for understanding the inner workings of a robot 
that is identical in nature to the robots being used in industry today. With Robotic Arm Edge, command the gripper to open and close, wrist motion of 120 degrees, an extensive elbow range of 300 degrees, base rotation of 270 degrees, base motion of 180 degrees, vertical reach of 15 inches, horizontal reach of 12.6 inches, and lifting capacity of 100g. WOW!
The Dodeca 12 in 1 SolarHydraulic Robot has a gear box that is a true dual threat as it is powered by direct sunlight, and a hydraulic transmission. With the Dodeca, children are able to actively learn two forms of alternative energy while they create and use their infinite imagination. With alternative energy playing such a pivotal role, there is no better time than now to start children on the path to learning basic concepts behind these technologies. Dodeca has 12 exciting forms that can be separated in two animated building modes: Automotive (Buggy, Obstacle Avoiding Rover, Excavator, Forklift) and Animals (Elephant, Pterosaurs, Monkey, Ostrich, T-Rex, Crocodile, Scorpion, Dog-Walker).
Both of these robot kits allow campers to create and recreate: Put it together, take it apart, make another module…It’s all about flexibility, problem solving, and intelligent thinking. But luckily, kids don’t have to be advanced engineers to create and achieve. With both robots, they learn as they play! Your camper will have a blast learning how to build their robots- they’ll be SO proud to show off their hard work on Friday!
ROBOT ENGINEER- ATR:
The OWI, Inc. 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot is a multi-function tracked mobile robotic kit. Utilize different track modules and make your robot transform into 3 amazing variations: the forklift, rover, and gripper. Using the wired controller, command the robot to move forward, backward, turn, grip and lift. In forklift mode, the ATR is like a mini industrial fork lift, with the ability to lift up to 100 g in weight. In rover mode, the ATR’s tank-like treads can traverse any type of surface. And in gripper mode, the ATR’s strong arms grab and lift anything up to 100g, allowing you to move it to your desired location.
