Programmes Ground robotics

Build and drive a rover

A one-day workshop on your campus. Teams wire a ground rover from a bare chassis and drive it through a course by the end of the day.

We bring the rovers, tools and engineers. Students work in teams of four, one kit per team, and finish the day by driving their rover through an obstacle course.

It suits first and second year students who have never built a robot, and works as a department add-on, a chapter event or a tech-fest workshop.
