The Williamwood High School – Design and Technology (STEM) club, The Young Engineers and Science Clubs Scotland and The Rampaging Chariots Guild proudly present;
A challenging engineering project aimed at interesting young people in engineering by involving them in an exciting social and technology learning project to construct radio controlled sporting robots to compete in a National competition.
The aim of the project is to interest young people in the fun of technology and engineering through the construction and operation of a powerful featherweight sporting robot to compete in the Assault Course, Sumo and 2-a-Side Football Competitions at the Scottish and UK Robotic Games. The project is aimed at young people aged 13 to 18 from youth organisations and school clubs.
The project educates young people involved in citizenship, project management, leadership, personal discipline, engineering, science, electronics and mathematics. It also teaches important social skills such as how to work as a team to achieve a challenging goal. The radio controlled sporting robots weigh about 10kg and are big and powerful enough not to be considered as toys.
