As the official education partner of BattleBots®, iD Tech offers an exclusive learning adventure that combines engineering craftsmanship with the excitement of a robotics championship.
Students ages 13-17 at the iD Tech BattleBots Robotics Engineering Camp at UC Irvine will design, build, and program BattleBots using the VEX Robotics Design System. Participants will engage in hands-on activities such as chassis wiring, control programming with VEX C++, and custom attachment design, including elements like claw arms or battering rams. The camp emphasizes mechanical engineering principles and culminates in BattleBots-style competitions, where students will optimize their robot's hardware and software to navigate challenges like races, obstacle courses, and capture the flag. The program aims to develop vital STEM skills, creativity, and a problem-solving mindset through a blend of technical instruction and fun camp activities.
A typical day includes morning announcements, icebreakers, and team-building activities, followed by dedicated coursework in labs, lunch in the campus dining hall, and breaks for outdoor activities or board games.
This camp is ideal for teens aged 13-17 who are interested in robotics, engineering, and competitive building, and who want to gain hands-on experience with VEX Robotics and C++ programming.
