Downingtown Area Robotics is a group of Students, Mentors and Sponsors, that knows it's important to get students interested in '''STEM''' ('''S'''cience, '''T'''echnology, '''E'''ngineering and '''M'''athematics) based careers.  We do this through competition robotics.  Our robots work in teams of two or three, working together as team on a common goal (not the robots that try to destroy each other.)
 
  
−
Driving the robots in Competitions is a small part of what we do.  From the beginning we teach each roboteer valuable life skills like communications, planning, getting a group consensus, cooperation and negotiations.  We also bring to life STEM skills in areas of electronics, mechanics, pneumatics, programming by planning, designing, building (and sometimes rebuilding), testing and driving our robots.

:FIRST Robots are large, at 28" * 38" * 60" and weigh up to 120 pounds. You are given an inital kit of parts.  You can buy or fabricate most any other part that you need from any source. The robot can be either bolted or welded, no glue or tape is allowed. The robot must be designed, built and testing in six weeks.  There is a limit on the numbers of motors that you can use. The robot is powered by a single 12 volt battery.

:[[VEX Robots]] must fit into an 18" cube and do not have a weight limit. Parts may only be purchased from [http://vexlabs.com VEX], but they can be cut and shaped any way provided there are no sharp edges.  Parts may only be bolted together, no assembly with glue or tape is allowed. There is a limit of ten motors and/or servos.  The robot is powered by a single 7.2 volt battery.
