Welcome to CB Robotics.
Hi there, welcome to CB Robotics.
We're a student-led initiative at Colonel By Secondary School that provides a dynamic environment in which students can learn about robotics and electronics, build their own prototypes, and challenge their problem solving and critical thinking skills.Random Interesting Tidbit
- Monitoring voltage of a battery is important to gauge the amount of power left. To do this, you can setup a voltage divider.
