Motion Mania: Building Blocks of Robotics

This course is currently on hold! We will re-activate it once we are able to offer it!

Unleash your inner engineer and dive into the exciting world of machines that move! Over just two action-packed weekends, join Rupin Chheda on a journey from simple joints to complex machines. "Motion Mania" isn't just about building – it's about understanding the how and why behind every movement, from robotic arms to extendable bridges.

This is not your average robotics class. We have no pre-packaged kits and instead delve into the fundamental principles of mechanical design. Using the cutting-edge MotionGen software, you'll learn to model and simulate jointed mechanisms, visualizing how different parts connect and move together.

In parallel, you will learn to bring your digital designs to life! With simple materials like cardboard, metal fasteners, and your own ingenuity, you'll construct working prototypes, including a pantograph – a fascinating machine that let…
