About Charging Courses
Welcome to the Charging Courses website!
Brought to you by the officers of Team 4189, we'll show you how we build, program, and compete in the First Robotics Competitions. During the off-season in the Fall, we'll teach you the tools you'll use in your department. We offer four central departments you can join and participate in: mechanical, programming, CAD, and marketing. This website focuses on Java and advanced programming; later, we may add Computer-Aided Design courses here.
Team 4189, the Solar Chargers, aims to inspire and empower students from our county and neighboring counties to innovate and excel in robotics. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where creativity, critical thinking, and more are developed through hands-on learning and real-world applications.
We seek to educate people about the fascinating world of robotics and build a community to share our ideas, work together as a team, and better advance our world.
