PaloBots is a club the helps kids learn about robotics, programming, technology, and teamwork.  Our mission is:

  • To enable 'rookie' kids to become familiar with robotics, problem solving, and the basics of teamwork
  • To enable more experienced & committed kids to learn exceptional skills in robot design, team organization & leadership, public presentation, and other aspects 
  • For any responsible kid (& parents) in the general Palo Alto area

 

PaloBots is meant to be "Serious Fun" -- kids should be having fun while they are seriously focused on learning a wealth of new things.

 

Schedule and Format

 

PaloBots is entering its fourth year.  Each year has a 'club' period from February through August, and a 'team' period from August through February.  During the club period, club members learn, practice, and have lots of fun.  Club meetings are every other week for a couple hours.  During the team period, teams form to compete in FLL.   Teams can meet as little as once a week (~3 hours) to as much as 2-3 times a week  (8+ hours) depending on the goals of the team.  Club members can either join a team or just watch what is going on.

 

You can see more about the club aspects by looking at: http://fller.pbworks.com/ .  More information about the competition and teams are here:
