Over the past few months, the AdamBots have created a new training program for first-year team members. The goal of this course is to allow the new members to gain hands-on experience of the engineering aspect of the AdamBots while also creating a robot for the holiday parade in December.
During the first few sessions, the new members were able to learn many valuable skills. Through the process of designing the robot, they learned about computer-aided design (CAD). They later moved onto the building the robot, through which they learned the basics of power tools and hand-held tools. The students are more engaged and have become more knowledgeable in creating a robot compared to our previous years when we only had robots.
