Robotics Team – First Lego League Robotics

Wednesdays 4:00 – 5:30 pm

Thursdays 3:50 – 5:20 pm

Join us in the First Lego League NYC Competition!  Students will hone their robotics skills in the largest national robotics competition.  Lego has recently updated their robotics coding to use Scratch or Python, giving a real boost to the tasks we can expect to accomplish with our robots.  Click here for more information about NYC First.  Click here for more information about this year’s BIOGLOW Challenge.  This class will require at least one full Saturday or Sunday for a qualifying match.  Details will be provided when registration opens, usually in October or November.  In the event that the team advances beyond the qualifier, further weekend days will be scheduled.  The competition also involves a detailed science project outside of the robot game, so it is not too early to start brainstorming ideas!

Advanced Robotics Team – VEX IQ and Python

Wednesdays 5:40-7:10 pm

This class explores core topics in robotics and software development. Emphasis will be placed on algorithmic coding in Python with focus on complexity and efficiency in code.  Alongside this, students will design and program an entry for the VEX Robotics competition using Python or C++. Similar to FLL, VEX features a unique game and field released each season, but focuses entirely on the robot match-play experience. Because VEX robots are programmed in text-based languages, students will build skills that are directly transferable to advanced computer science studies. Prior experience on a competitive robotics team is required.

Advanced Robotics Team – VEX IQ Robotics, NHRL

Thursdays 5:30 – 7:00 pm

This class explores core topics in robotics and software development. Early sessions will focus on reviving our entry for the Norwalk Havoc Robotics League (NHRL), with the goal of competing in the 3 lb weight class once the robot is ready. Alongside this, students will design and program an entry for the VEX Robotics competition using Python or C++. Similar to FLL, VEX features a unique game and field released each season, but focuses entirely on the robot match-play experience. Because VEX robots are programmed in text-based languages, students will build skills that are directly transferable to advanced computer science studies. Prior experience on a competitive robotics team is required.
