Robotics Academy BotlineThis looks like a great opportunity. We have used some of the training materials by Carnegie Mellon and have found them to be excellent. The only downside has been the expense, but this is free! If you are interested in this kind of information, you may want to subscribe to their “BotLine” newsletter.

Free Robotics Competition Training!
The Robotics Academy is pleased to offer free training using materials that have been used to teach over one million new robot programmers. Our training begins today. We are using components that have been designed for our newly emerging Computer Science Student Network.
The training will be offered using a Learning Management System (LMS) that allows students to log in 24/7 (whenever they want) to learn to program robots. The LMS will be supported using Robotics Academy software, an instructor, and a monitored forum where students will be able to ask questions and find answers. Training will be available for the following platforms:
