The Robotics Group is a great place to learn the basics of Mechatronics – an emerging career path – in a very sociable, fun environment. The Robotics group build VEX EDR robots and learn skills in mechanics, physics, programming and strategic thinking. Students get together several times a week to create and troubleshoot their robot designs. They also regularly attend scrimmages on a Saturday where their robots are pitched against those from other schools in the area.
