Autonomous systems
Sensor fusion, gyro-corrected driving and closed-loop control - the same ideas that steer self-driving cars, scaled down to a classroom table.

Young engineers building what comes next.
Power Robotics is a youth robotics program in Mason, Ohio. Our students design, build, code and compete with autonomous robots - and along the way they learn how real engineers think: test an idea, measure what happened, and iterate until it works. We currently compete in VEX IQ as team 88477.

Engineering method
Every design is a hypothesis. We build variants, run them head to head, log the numbers, and let the data pick the winner.
AI literacy
Students learn how machines perceive, decide and learn, so that the tools reshaping their world are something they can build with rather than just consume.
