When we have that, we will begin scheduling these "Coach-the-Coach" sessions again. Maybe you can help? Have a place that we could meet to build some robots? Any room will do. == Learn to Program Your Robot! == [[image:robotc_logo.png|right|50px]] When we have a place to meet again, we will start programming our robots with RobotC. Until then check out the new, Philly area - TechnoMage League. All across the Philly Metro area - parent and educator led groups are hosting workshops and League Ranking events (http://technomage.radcorp.com - the site is being constructed right now :) ) When we program, we will be programming with ROBOTC and a Vex controller and various motors, servos, and sensors. We will be running through the RobotC environment and programming our robots. We will also be looking at the sample programs and going through as many as we can over the course of several Wednesdays. You really need to set up your laptop before you come to the class. Here are the prerequisites:[[Setting Up Your Laptop To Program RobotC]]. Here is the link to download the [http://www.robotc.net/download/vexrobotics] to program the Vex.

This lets you plug in the orange programming cable to put code on the robot. There are specific versions for the Windows OS that you are running, make sure you have the right one. The drivers are found on the same page as the demo copy of RobotC. == Start Your Team! == There is still grant money available for new teams! Contact Info at stemrobotics dot org for more details.
