Combat robotics class for teens
ENG 101 Combat Robotics I is a combat robotics course for teens in Jersey City, grouped by age and experience. Students design a 1 lb robot, build and wire it, then fight their first match.
It is engineering with real stakes: if a part fails, you find out why, redesign it and print it again.

ENG 101 has no prerequisite; ENG 100 Intro to Robotics & Coding is a good first step for teens new to building and coding robots.
You leave with
A 1 lb competition robot and your first match.
Then: ENG 201 and ENG 301
ENG 201 Combat Robotics II (after ENG 101) steps up to a tougher 3 lb robot. ENG 301 Advanced Combat Robotics (after a 200 course) leads a team competing with 12 and 30 lb robots, with eligibility for the External Competition Team.
Questions parents ask
Is combat robotics safe for kids?
Robots are tested inside a protected arena under a coach's supervision, and students wear safety glasses at the bench.
Can my teen join without experience?
Yes. ENG 100 Intro to Robotics & Coding and ENG 101 Combat Robotics I both have no prerequisite.
