    Description

    We are looking for software engineers to work collaboratively with our high school students to develop our robot control software. We have roughly 6 weeks to design and build a robot from the ground up to play a game that's revealed to us in January. We then compete with that robot in March and April, iterating as we learn what works and what doesn't. We have years worth of sample code and a development platform to work with. Travel opportunites are available.

    Location

    On-site

    Warren G. Harding High School

    860 Elm Rd NE, Warren, OH 44483, USA
    Directions

    We meet in the robotics lab located next to the Akron Children's Pediatrics office at the back of the school building.
