Interested in bringing robotics to your college, but don't know where to start? In this presentation the current president and co-founders of Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Robotics Club will give insight into how to build a robotics community based on the resources you have available.
What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
When I started attending Worcester Polytechnic Institute I was disappointed to find that there was not robotics club or resources to do extracurricular robotics projects or compete in robotics competitions. Because of this I decided to start a robotics club at WPI and make it a resource for other students to work on their projects and compete in robotics competitions.
