This will be a multipart course run over a period of 6 weeks, each week
you will learn about and receive a new component which you will add to
the robot you will be building, at the end of the course you will have a
fully functional wheeled robot design to keep and build upon further.

The build will culminate with a additional competition evening, where
attendees get to race their robots against each other in a set of
challenges, with prizes and trophies for the winners.

Ticket sales will close 4 weeks before the course starts to allow for
all of the hardware to be purchased and prepared. Tickets include a £30
non-refundable deposit, once ticket sales close this portion will not be
refunded and the ticket holder will still receive their hardware kit
even if they choose to refund the teaching & competition portion.
