RoboRAVE 2018 highlights @ https://photos.app.goo.gl/SYeNZdzKrwbgdoNu9 (Google Photo Album) = some of our SumoBot competitions.
Robotics Club is now joined with our new library MakerSpace on Tuesdays during both lunches.
Students are challenged to design, build, program and test their own SumoBot to compete. Currently a 7th grade team and an 8th grade team are building their own separate SumoBots.
Students are also encouraged to consider competing their SumoBot in the May 3rd-4th, 2019, RoboRAVE in Albuquerque.
See RoboRAVE's website for rules, event schedules and team fees.
Take the SumoBot Challenge Hawks!
Robotics Club at LAMS is open to all students, no matter what level of experience you may have.
We'll do our best to make it a fun and positive robotic learning experience as possible.
Thanks to Ms. Ellie in our library MakerSpace for purchasing a new Lego MindStorm EV3 robotic kit for our Hawk students!!

- Mentors needed?
- Sponsors and sponsors letters needed?

- December or January after-school Parent/Guardian Orientation/Informational Meeting = need student help to plan

Congrats to some programming success today by Senna and Logan (one team working together) and Eric. They were programming their Lego NXT robot to solve a maze that Eric created. It had a 90 degree turn and a 135 degree turn. (18.12.17)
In 2018-2019, Los Alamos Middle School will be offering a new elective, Robotics & Pre-Engineering. We will need help purchase materials and pay for training. We will look for grants, partnerships and donations. Please let us know if you have any ideas to fund-raise. Our hope is that this new course will be self-sustaining, self-sufficient. And we may have class fees.
Our new course is based on Project Lead the Way's Automation and Robotics coursework. Here is a folder with more info.
To possibly help with donations, please see our "Donations Needed" page. Thank you very much!
