SUMMARY:Competitive Robotics: Open Robotics Competition (ORC)
DESCRIPTION:This is a members-only Competitive Robotics cohort focused on designing, building, testing, and preparing to compete in the Open Robotics Competition (ORC). Participants work alongside fellow builders in a collaborative environment, learning through hands-on experimentation, iteration, and shared problem-solving.\nMembers / Teams are responsible for purchasing the materials used for their individual robot projects.\nRather than following a fixed curriculum, this cohort emphasizes guided peer learning, and real-world engineering tradeoffs. Builders are encouraged to explore different approaches, learn from testing and failure, and continuously improve their designs.\nKickoff\nSaturday, May 9 @ 3:00pm\nAt the kickoff, participants will review the ORC opportunity, discuss individual/teaming interests, and decide when they want to meet together as a club moving forward.\nWhat to expect\n\nPeer learning support throughout robot design and build\nHands-on work with drivetrains, mechanisms, controls, and durability\nTesting, troubleshooting, and iterative improvement\nPreparation for matches and future competitive events\nA strong focus on safety, sportsmanship, and collaboration\n\nThis cohort supports a range of experience levels, from first-time builders to experienced competitors, and provides a supportive on-ramp into competitive robotics.\nSigning-up helps us plan.\n
