Mechanical Foundations provides participants with knowledge and hands-on experiences with a variety of tools and hardware components. By understanding the foundational mechanical principles that underpin robotics, participants develop the ability to design, construct, and maintain these systems with increased confidence and efficacy. The course covers topics such as structure, power transmission, motion, and mechanisms using hands-on activities with REV DUO kits. As part of the SMART Robotics Technician Program, Mechanical Foundations is aligned to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that robotics technicians need to be successful.

There are two versions of Mechanical Foundations with REV DUO available that leverage two different control systems: one that uses the REV Control Hub and REV Driver Hub, and one that uses an Arduino and GoBilda Power Distribution Boards.
