We have been working since June 2016 to build and program ALICE, our Amazing Artisan, Logic Based, Innovative, CNC, Embellishing robot. We have learned how CNC machines work, how to extrude, programming motors, sensors, blue tooth and files. We had tons of fun working together.
6/3/17 SMART Cookies had a great Robofest competition. Thank You St. Pete's Beach! We came home with a People's Choice award and 3rd place in Jr. Exhibition. Congratulations to the Tech Sisters for 1st place and to team STEAM for 2nd place.
