Hamilton's combat robotics club!
Now your young engineer can get making and explore the world of radio control and combat robotics. Tronbots makes engineering accessible, with project-based learning and achievable stages. The keen tutors enjoy nurturing young minds and specialise in setting members up for success. Members make functional models, then progress to either aluminium construction or 3D printing, all fully supported within the Tronbots ecosystem. Once complete, members can level up to really challenge themselves!
Pick a Thursday time that suits, then choose your membership.
Battle is a one-off build and battle event as part of the final tournament. Grab a kit, build a bot, smash or be smashed!
Build is the classic Tronbots experience. Model and make over ten sessions with your own loan kit.
Newbie is a four-session mini-course for keen makers without the commitment of a whole term.
BYO is for those with their own gear but still appreciate some input and connection with others.
