Outreach is an organization-wide effort that focuses on helping educate on and promote robotics within the community. We volunteer at a variety of robotics events including FIRST Tech challenge and Robotics competitions, VEX Robotics competitions, and BEST Robotics competitions.
If you are interested in partnering with RoboJackets for robotics outreach, event volunteering, or education and mentorship in or around the Atlanta area, please contact our Outreach Chair.
What we do
RoboJackets Academy
We are currently working on producing educational content through videos. We are currently making content for BEST Robotics, as well as a general information on robotics series aimed at everyone from students to hobbyists.
FRC Design Reviews
We host 4 FRC teams each season in our shop for 2-hour review sessions on their strategy for the season and how they plan to build a bot to accomplish that strategy.
