Robotics Class

[Nica F.]

I've been in Robotics class for an elective the past couple years but not this year because they put it on hold. but yeah our school had robotics as an elective.

[Stuart]

I know that 437(richardson robotics) has a robotics class . . 2 last time I heard . .

[Jeff K.]

Team 1138's home, Chaminade College Preparatory, has a Robotics class. It's most C programming on the VEX Platform. The semester project though requires more mechanical design in building a robot to design a certain task.

There are already numerous threads about this, but I do know of several teams. 111 has a class at both of their schools I beleive.
Fairfax County has an "academy" system in which certain schools can draw students from other schools for specialized classes (such as law enforcement, dance, animal sciences, advanced technical theatre, Korean language, etc.). The Chantilly Academy (Technology and Human Services) has several classes associated with Engineering and Robotics (and Team 612), including Engineering Systems I and II, Electronics, and Engineering Physics.

[David Carter]

I think Carl Hayden has one of the best. That is my opinion because Carl Hayden beat MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and thats a $@#$@#$@#$@# good school MIT has the best computer classes you can take!

[Cory]

Bellarmine College Prep has a robotics class.

[IraJason]

Lower Merion High School has a 1 semester robotics elective that's based off of VEX, which basically allows us to have our own in-house vex competitions and recruit those who are really interested to be on our vex team or FRC team. I also think that our programing classes are starting to use vex systems to test out code in real world situations.

[Ben Martin]

Our high school has several Project lead the way classes, which are sort of like robotics classes for us because most students on our robotics team take at least one of them.

[Mark McLeod]

Hauppauge runs a couple of elective robotics classes.

5 or 6 years of them.

Just to highlight it a bit more; Team 612 mainly operate as a class orientated team, although everyone can join the team.
Engineering Systems 1 & 2 : mainly provides the leadership team and the sub-team captains
Engineering Physics : All the mechanical and electrical members
Industry/Tech Drawing : As the name suggests, AutoCad team and animation
Web Developing: Website obviously.

Most of our members are actually from those classes. Teachers recruit in-class students and help them looking at the practical application of what they learn inside a class.

My high school, Lindbergh High School in Renton, WA had a robotics and an advanced robotics class. The teachers responsible used to have a FIRST team (before I went to school there) but their primary sponsorship through boeing dissolved with some management changes and they haven't done it since. They do a lot of fun mini competitions and a large regional tethered competition in the spring. (4'x8' arena, 1ft cube robots, different game each year). The competition usually pulls in around 100 teams of 3 people each. The second class does more electronics and autonomous programming, but they still compete in the spring.

Corry High offers an intro and advanced robotics class, it is really convenient because it is during build season

Wildstang began it's 9th period class (after school credit classes) after several students petitioned the school board in 1997-98. The board agreed and approved the class if a curriculum could be formed and listed out as do regular classes. Students do receive grades and must maintain grades in all classes to stay on the team. Participation does affect GPA.
