Now your young engineer can get making and explore combat robotics. Tronbots brings engineering to life, with project-based learning and achievable stages. The keen tutors enjoy working with young people. Tronbots’ BambuLab X1C 3D Printer is available for those keen to use computer modelling, and once complete, members can level up to really challenge themselves!
Build is the classic 10-session Tronbots experience. Members are guided through the design, build, and battle process with their own exclusive loan kit.
Battle is an afternoon session for those keen to taste combat robotics without the weekly commitment. Turn up at midday, grab your loan kit, and get building ready for the 1:30pm tournament!
