4-H Robotics Anyone?

The Prince William County 4-H Robotics Club members and 4-H leader, Blake Ross, as well as other adult 4-H leaders have much to teach us in the 4-H community about robotics. This 4-H Robotics Club was a shining star in the Third Annual Robotics Competition called Roboticon3. Blake Ross says there is room next year in this club for three or four more members. Youth must be in 7th grade now and a rising 8th grader. This club meets at the home of Mr. Ross in the Bull Run Mountain area. Mr. Ross is willing to host scrimmages and tournaments and invite 4-Hers to come and watch. He would also lend expertise to adult leaders who would like to form another 4-H robotics club. If you would like to talk more about robotic possibilities, contact Blake at blake@verizon.net. And...to see Vex Robotics which is the type of robotics used by this club, go to YouTube and search "vex robotics".
