Robotics Summer Camp
Build It. Code It. Solve It.
Bring your ideas to life in Pali Adventures Robotics! Campers spend the week building, driving, modifying, and programming robots while taking on a series of increasingly challenging competitions and missions. Design a robot for Sumo, create mechanisms for Robot Soccer, program an autonomous maze run, and use sensors, automation, and teamwork to complete rescue missions.
Each day builds on the skills learned before it, leading to the specialty’s signature challenge: an advanced rescue mission where campers combine mechanical design, programming, sensors, strategy, and problem-solving to complete a complex course with fewer instructions and more freedom to engineer their own solution.
What Campers Learn
- Robot Design & Building: Build and modify robots using motors, wheels, gears, structural components, and manipulators.
- Robot Sumo: Explore traction, torque, stability, drivetrain design, and strategy while competing to push an opposing robot off the arena.
- Robot Soccer: Design mechanisms to control objects while developing precision driving, teamwork, and 2-vs-2 strategy.
- Coding & Automation: Use VEXcode to program movement, turns, sensor responses, and autonomous behaviors.
- Sensors: Use distance and color sensing to help robots recognize and react to their surroundings.
- Autonomous Navigation: Program a robot to complete a maze without camper control.
- Rescue Robotics: Navigate hills and uneven terrain, move obstacles, respond to hazards, deliver supplies, and rescue a stranded robot.
- Engineering Challenges: Build, test, troubleshoot, redesign, and discover that there is often more than one way to solve a problem.
