IMPORTANT: Labor Day Announcement:


As we approach Labor Day weekend, we wanted to let you know that Robolabs and Dublin Robotics Club will be taking a break on Sunday, September 1st. Our Dublin, Fremont, and San Jose locations will be closed for the holiday.


For our VIQRC students, no worries—you can easily schedule a make-up class whenever it’s convenient for you. These make-up sessions won’t expire, so there’s plenty of time.


For our VRC students, there’s no need to worry about make-up classes. With unlimited access to the lab for up to 12 hours a week, you’ve got plenty of time to work on your projects at your convenience.


You’ll also see friendly reminders about this posted at the entrances of our Dublin, Fremont, and San Jose locations.
