Not-for-profit youth robotics club · Windsor, Ontario
Since 2019, Cheetahs Robotics has helped young people learn to design, build, and program robots through FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and the World Robot Olympiad.
About us
Cheetahs Robotics is a not-for-profit robotics club based in Windsor. We have been operating since 2019, have taught dozens of students, and only recently registered as a nonprofit.
Students learn the technical skills needed for robotics, including designing, building, and coding. They also practise public speaking, teamwork, problem solving, and time management.
Our team is supported by families, volunteers, mentors, and community sponsors.
Competitions
Students learn design, building, coding, teamwork, public speaking, and time management while preparing for FLL, FTC, and WRO events.
FIRST LEGO League
FLL is much more than a robot game. Students design and build a LEGO robot, solve table missions, research an innovation project, and present their work to judges.
FIRST Tech Challenge
FTC teams build robots from custom and off-the-shelf parts and compete in two-versus-two alliance matches. Students learn CAD, 3D printing, Java programming, assembly, driving, and match strategy.
World Robot Olympiad
WRO is an international robotics competition with several categories. Our students mainly compete in RoboMission, building a small autonomous robot that completes missions within two minutes.

Impact
Cheetahs Robotics shares its experience with schools and robotics teams locally and internationally, helping more students learn through robotics.
Local Community
Cheetahs members helped found the robotics club at Assumption Middle School, which has grown to more than 50 members. Members continue to visit the school to mentor students and teach coding. Cheetahs members also contribute their experience to local FRC Team 1229.

Sharing Our Experience
Cheetahs has been invited numerous times to give talks and share our experience in robot design, programming, competition strategy, and robotics more broadly. These exchanges allow us to share what we have learned while also learning from other teams.
