Annual Technical Competition/ Summer Camps

CM/CALU has an annual technical competition already established. The goal is to establish regional outreach through the local community colleges.

Annually each spring.  The competition is designed to fit into a teacher’s class schedule.  The Introduction to Mobile Robotics Course is organized to teach the competencies that students need to participate in this competition during the fall and winter.
