 • It is popular with students in grades 4-8 but suitable for high school level as well. 
 • This activity is free for members during member hours, typically Fridays and Saturdays.
 • Build “Battlin’ Bots" using motors, wood, metal, and found materials.
 • Work in teams to brainstorm a design, solve problems, and control your bot in a shielded arena.
 • When bots are ready, they can battle each other, two at a time. Repair your bot and battle again.
 • We provide materials for your first bot as part of your membership - drive motors, platform, basic hardware.
 • Later you may add up to two additional motors. Additional materials may be purchased from us or you can bring items from home.
 • We provide one plastic shoe-box size container to keep your bot here so you can work on it any time you come in.
 • If you abandon your bot for more than 6 months, your bot may be disassembled to recycle parts and make room for other bots.
