Killswitch: How to Use the Force

killswitch force

Robots generate a lot of force when they try to tear each other apart. If you want to be sure that your robot can take it, then you need to understand how to do force analysis. This class will teach how to use forces and moments to analyze systems, from simple structures to complicated robots. The class will include performing an analysis for several example fighting robots.

Like all other Tuesday nights, this event is free and open to the public. Our night will begin with a Show and Share where attendees are encouraged to bring out the projects they have been working on. This is a great time to request feedback for the future direction of your project, or you can just bring out something you want to show off. We hope to see you there!
