The Outpost
Our facility, which we call “The Outpost”, is located at 205 W 2nd Street, in downtown Royal Oak across from the post office. The City of Royal Oak has graciously let us occupy a suite on the ground floor of a parking structure, where we have been able to construct a full-size FRC playing field and workshop. You can also find this on maps as “Royal Oak Robotics”.
The Outpost is also large enough that we are able to run programs such as our summer Robocamps and Saturday FLL program, and even host small events such as scrimmages with other local robotics teams. If you’re in the area, feel free to walk by and look through the windows, or even stop in if we’re open.
Thank you to Royal Oak Schools and the City of Royal Oak for making this educational center possible!
Visiting
If you’re visiting the outpost, please read the information below to ensure that you can find us, and please observe the local traffic and parking patterns to ensure that we’re gracious neighbors. The door to the facility is on 2nd Street, across from the post office, and right behind a busy USPS mail drop box. 2nd Street is one-way in front of our facility. The side of the street in front our facility is marked as a no parking loading zone, and you can use this area to drop your student (or robot or equipment) off, but please pull up well past the post office drop box, so there is chance of you blocking it. You can park in the structure which is free for two hours, and 75 cents an hour thereafter. It’s free all day on Sundays. There’s also metered street parking on many streets in the area. The meters tend to be enforced fairly strictly.
