Training

To ensure a quality program at least one coach from every Team needs to be trained. The required training time is 24 – 30 hours. Training sessions are help periodically usually in the greater Milwaukee area. The training is very hands on where the coach will build a task oriented robot that starts out as a Kit.

Please contact us to learn more about training.

The training kits that we use were built by member companies of the Wisconsin Precision Metalworking Council. They consist of simple machined parts and standard purchased components. They are an “erector set” of robot components. These kits are also used by young students during Discovery World’s summer robotics camp programs.

To keep up with demand for additional kits we have made most of the cad models for the kits available free of charge on the resources page. Our hope is that schools build kits and expand them, coming up with new mechanisms and gadgets that could further the learning experience.
