The Robotics area at Rochester Makerspace is a hub for innovation, collaboration, and hands-on learning. Whether you’re a beginner exploring robotics for the first time or an experienced builder working on advanced projects, our space offers the tools, resources, and community to help you bring your ideas to life.
Our robotics area includes workbenches and electronic components, and other areas in the space offer 3D printers, soldering stations, and microcontrollers, providing everything needed to design, build, and test robots of all sizes. Members work on a variety of projects, from autonomous vehicles and robotic arms to AI-driven systems. Maybe even a competition-ready build one day! Could that be you? You can direct robotics questions to our area manager, James Chin, at robotics@rocmakers.org.

Class description
Robotics is a field of engineering that involves the development of automated machines. This class will go over the typical parts of a mobile robot, assemble a robot from a kit, and then write software to make the robot run all by itself! The class is broken down into four major parts: Typical Robot Parts and Assembly, Outputs and Motors, Inputs and Sensors, and Automatic Feedback-Based Control.
