- Do you want to understand physical computing, such as robotics, microcontroller programming, or embedded controller programming)?
- Do you have little to no experience in programming, electronics, and robotics but want to learn how to build your own creations from scratch?
- Are you tired of online show-and-tells that are above your current level of understanding? Do you want detailed instruction that starts at the beginning and then moves forward?
- Are you tired of poorly-written and incomplete code examples that are not well-explained? Do you prefer well-organized, and fully explained TEXTBOOKS that are used by high schools and colleges around the world, such as Princeton University and Millersville University?
- Are you a teacher looking for hundreds of Challenge Problems to assign your students?
- Are you ready to move on from the canned and proprietary programs of Vex™ and First™ and move into an open-sourced, open-ended, real-world program?
- Are you interested in evolving your current robotics or engineering course into the new AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course or starting the new AP CSP course from scratch?
- Are you frustrated with online demonstrations that merely show you how to make something but do not teach you how make something?
- Are you a teacher who is interested in a complete year-long classroom curriculum in the fields of robotics, design, electronics, microcontroller programming, or embedded controller programming?
- Are you frustrated by the high cost of most robotics platforms and programs and want to know where you can find an affordable robotics program with common, off-the-shelf, and non-proprietary components?
- Would you be surprised to learn that you can purchase a durable, well-stocked, programmable robot for under $200 that is designed and made in the USA? (A classroom set of multiple bots is even cheaper.)
- Is your school ready to expand robotics from an after-school club to a bona fide year-long robotics course?
- Are you tired of drag-and-drop block-style programming and want to learn how to write real code from scratch like professionals?
- Are you interested in making yourself marketable in the rising tech fields of computer programming, data analysis, physical computing, robotics, artificial intelligence, wearable tech, and microcontroller programming?
- Are you interested in integrating art, design, and creativity into your tech projects?
- Would you be surprised to learn that since 2002 there has been a teacher-created, classroom-tested robotics curriculum that is available to anyone who wants it?
- Are you stuck with the old, slow, 5.0-volt AVR architecture but want to migrate to the new, lightning-fast, 3.3-volt ARM architecture?
