Come down and watch the DARPA Grand Challenge with the Curtin Robotics Club! It's a great way to wind down a bit before the mad rush in tuition free week begins. There will be board games and snacks!   The event is free!   Join NOVA for an exclusive backstage pass to the DARPA Grand Challenge—a raucous race for robotic, driverless vehicles sponsored by the Pentagon, which awards a $2 million purse to the winning team. Armed with artificial intelligence, laser-guided vision, GPS navigation, and 3-D mapping systems, the contenders are some of the world's most advanced robots. Yet even their formidable technology and mechanical prowess may not be enough to overcome the grueling 130-mile course through Nevada's desert terrain. From concept to construction to the final competition, "The Great Robot Race" delivers the absorbing inside story of clever engineers and their unyielding drive to create a champion, capturing the only aerial footage that exists of the Grand Challenge.       ------------------ This event is only for university students. 

Come along to CRoC's Arduino workshop! This workshop is aimed for beginners and will cover the basics of Arduino to get you up and running.    This workshop is free for members, and $5 for non-members. Membership is $5, and gets you free access to all of our workshops. 

Come along to the Introductory Build Night on 27th of July from 6pm to find out more about the club's events, projects, and workshops happening this semester. The night will start off with a series of short introductions and presentations, given by the President and Project Leads, you will then have the opportunity to have a look at our projects and ask any questions, sign up to our Hackathon and meet the many club members and committee. And of course, there will be free pizza! All students from all degrees are welcome!

Are you interested in learning how to solder? Come to this workshop run by the Curtin Robotics Club in collaboration with the Perth Artifactory. This workshop will cover the basics of through hole soldering, such as soldering on a PCB or protoboard, removing components (called desoldering), and connecting small wires together. More information wil be released closer to the date,    Interested in learning more about the Perth Artifactory, check out their social media here!   Tickets are limited, so get in quick to secure your place!

CRoC is back this year with the beginners Hackathon! Gather your team mates for two days of robotic fun and chaos - the goal is you and youre team will work together to contruct a robot that will complete a mystery objective, or built to a theme to be revealed on the day.  Day 1 will consist of learning the basics of Arduino and the components you will use to construct your bot. Afterwards you will form teams and begin building your bot. If you dont have a team on the day, dont worry - we will assign you one. Day 2 will be the competition day where you will perfect your bot and present it to a panel of judges from the university and industry - there will also be free food! Sign up here to reserve your place at this FREE event. This is to ensure we can cater free food and prepare robotics kits for an accurate number of teams.  Ensure to bring your own laptops, chargers, any USB converters (if you have a mac computer) and have the Arduino IDE installed.  Keep an eye out for emails closer to the date which will contain details of the days alongside any materials given in advance. Please don't hesitate to message us if you have any questions.  

Are you interested in learning how to design a PCB? Come to this workshop run by the Curtin Robotics Club to learn how!  We'll cover the basics - from making a schematic to turning it into a fully fledged board.   This workshop will teach you how to use KiCad, an open-source circuit design software, giving you the skills to design your own PCBs with professional quality. The circuit you design will be a bit counter that you can choose to assemble later during our soldering workshop! It is recommended to have KiCad installed on your computer before the event begins, follow this link for installation (it's FREE): https://www.kicad.org/download/

Are you interested in learning how to CAD? Not sure where to start and how? Join our CAD workshops! Starting from a beginner level, participants will learn how to use CAD to create their very own files for a 3D-printable fidget toy. This short workshop will run on the 28th of March at 6pm! On the night please gather at the bottom floor of the Pavillion near the CRoC clubroom where we will then take you all to the computer labs. Please bring USB's so you can keep your work. Make sure to register your interest in this free event via the tickets page - there are limited spots, so book in while you can!

Build Nights is a weekly event hosted by CRoC where members come together to work in their teams to complete robotics based projects. This event runs every Thursday night during the teaching semester. These are the current projects to chose from:  BoozeBot  XY-Plotter TinyBot  UR-5 Laser Tanks  Kenny the Echidna Bingo the Husky CRoC always welcomes new members at any point during the semester - memberships cost $5 for the year, or is free with a guild voucher. Come visit us on the ground floor of the Pavillion if you have any question, want to sign up, or join a project!
