Robotics PRO — engineering and robot building
A robot is an engineer’s tool for carrying out tasks. But it is always a person who makes the decisions.
Mechanics + programming + sensors + strategy + competitions
The course at a glance
Robotics PRO is an engineering and competitive robotics course for teenagers.
Here, students go beyond building models from instructions. They are given an engineering challenge and find a way to solve it: designing the structure, choosing mechanisms and sensors, programming the robot’s behaviour, testing the result and correcting errors.
The same task can have several solutions. Children therefore need to think, experiment and demonstrate in practice that their chosen design and algorithm really work.
The course brings together mechanics, programming, maths, physics and engineering thinking.
What students will do in Robotics PRO
Programming movement
Control multiple motors, set the speed and direction of movement, calculate distances and turning angles, and create sequences of actions.
Working with sensors
Collect and process data from colour, distance, touch and robot position sensors.
The robot must do more than receive information: it must adapt its behaviour to the situation.
Building mechanisms
Work with gears, gear trains, wheels, levers and grippers.
Understand which tasks require speed, which require force, and how gear ratios affect a mechanism’s performance.
Designing a robot for a task
Line following, sorting parts by colour, firefighting, wrestling in the ring and shooting — each competition discipline needs its own solution.
Team members find their own solutions rather than copying one provided by their coach.
Testing and optimising
Identify the cause of an error and improve performance: faster • more precise • more consistent • more reliable.
Children learn not to settle for “it seems to work”, but to find ways to improve their solution.
Preparing for competitions
Tackle competitive robotics challenges, work within time limits, test strategies and prepare a robot for real competitions.
AI — an engineer’s assistant, not a ready-made solution
AI can help generate ideas, review code and analyse errors. But the proposed solution still needs to be built, programmed and tested on a real robot.
AI can suggest a solution.
A competition will show whether it works in the real world.
More than a course. Team RoboLab.
Robotics PRO is not just a course, but a competitive robotics club for teenagers. Students learn, train and socialise together, celebrate victories and support one another through setbacks.
Individual results are not the focus here. Children learn to work as a team, share tasks, discuss strategy, meet deadlines and take joint responsibility for the outcome.
