ROBOTICS CLUB

Continuously Constructing

Sponsored by Josh Gish, the Robotics Club meets every Thursday from 3-4:30 in B165. The club uses the VEX Platform to work on the physical engineering and coding of robots. There are various competitions teams, each working in multiple ways to achieve the same objective. Students might be wondering if they would have to have a background with code or engineering to join the club. Freshman Kaavya Malu joined after seeing the robots on display and became interested.

“Prior to joining robotics, I had no experience working with robots, coding, or designing at all,” Malu said. “I not only learned how to do those things, but also how to collaborate and create, even when things seem difficult, it is a place where everyone is welcomed and can learn to do something unique together. It is always fun to come up with creative and diverse ways to solve something, and to test the boundaries of what you think you can do and achieve.” Story and photo by Julianna Wells.
