Team Duct Tape, a local community-based youth robotics team entering its 19th year, is sharing its passion with the community through its inaugural summer camp in Tampa, Florida.
Summer Camp Details
The camp teaches participants a variety of skills required to construct a functioning robot, including 3D modeling and printing, distinguishing between motors and servos, and engaging in hands-on trial and error.
The teenage team members emphasize that robotics is heavily centered around problem-solving and perseverance. “Very satisfying whenever it finally works, because it never works the first time,” 17-year-old Daniel Fellerhoff said.
Community Involvement
The inaugural camp also serves as a fundraiser to the upcoming competition season. The team is actively looking for new mentors, corporate sponsors, and new members to join their ranks for the upcoming season.
