Life Skills Center of Hamilton County starts Robotics program

Ten students at Life Skills Center of Hamilton County are taking part in robot design and construction.

The team, which calls itself “The RoboSoldiers,” are planning on competing at the First Tech Robotics Challenge Dec. 7-8 at the University of Cincinnati. Teams earn points based on robot performance with a chance to advance through the regional round and into the next level of national competition.

For the past few months, these 10 students (and the three teachers/coaches mentoring the team) have spent countless hours learning and experimenting with the intricacies of robot design and construction.

This is the first year of the Robotics program at the school.
