Re: Robotics or related engineering courses
Seeing as you're near L.A., you may want to contact FRC1717, out of Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy in Goleta. Specifically, their lead mentor/teacher, Amir. You might remember him from the Kickoff broadcast; he spoke for a couple of minutes or so. Admittedly, it's an engineering school, but I'm sure they'd be more than happy to help you out with some ideas. Seeing as you're going to be at the L.A. Regional with them, that's three days to talk in person with them if you can arrange it. (Also three days for your robot to get the tubes beaten out of it by their robot, but I'm sure they'll be happy to help you improve.)
The really scary part about 1717 is that they're an all-senior team. The team just comes in that good every single year. They've got to be doing something right.
