Where the Idea came from?Internet is booming with DIY (Do It Yourself) tutorials.



4

But if you just watch tutorials it is the same as if you tried learning maths, physics or chemistry only by reading.



5

Is this even possible ?



6

We started our little project DIY roboticsWe made a plan: • Build robots• Spend as little as possible• Attend local robotics competition



7

What is the purpose of working like that?

• Learning about materials

• a high rank in the competition

• Engineering,• Programing,• Problem solving

• Planning• Results

Motivation Knowledge

ExperienceSelf confidence
