This week , the team got a tour of the McHenry County College robotics department.  They saw student programmed robots in action, industrial CNC fabrication machines, and watched something being laser cut in the fabrication lab.

Our team got to take a tour of Solberg Manufacturing and see how robotics is used if their manufacturing equipment.

    

This Sunday, we had a mentoring outreach at the Cary Area Public Library.  Two of our team members helped elementary aged kids build their own Lego Mindstorms robots.  Kids could choose from a self balancing Gyro Boy, a cute Puppy, an amazing Color Sorter or a futuristic Robotic Arm.  One team created a tank bot using the Mindstorms expansion kit, and, with the help of one of The Golden Ratio team members, added a “remote control” function.  In total, 14 kids built 7 amazing robots!
