How do I start a robot team in my troop?

Start by speaking to your merit badge counselor. He or she should be able to give you some idea about the types of robot competitions available in your area and what it takes to start a team.

You may also wish to check out the online resources available at http://www.robotevents.com or http://scoutlife.org/robotics.

Finally, if you attend a competition while working on the Robotics merit badge, ask the team members at the event what resources might be available for you to get a team started.
