# Welcome to REV Robotics Education Professional Development!

This self-guided professional development training is a new program from REV Robotics designed to aid educators as they get started with educational robotics and the DUO Control System. 

These trainings are intended to pair with the Intro to Robotics V2 curriculum and EDU Kit V2.

## How is this training different than other documentation?

While there is overlap between using the DUO system in the classroom and FTC or FGC competitions, these trainings are intended to provide simplified onboarding support to new educators.&#x20;

This means there is less heavily technical or complex materials provided, such as in depth pinouts, schematics, or references to competition formats. Please see the [appropriate technical documentation](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-M3qDjqMSqBbHMXNmC_O/s/QpUff2Tw0aAY2K1UwemO/) for that information.

Additionally, these trainings include callouts for pairing with the Intro to Robotics V2 curriculum, such as relevant lessons or projects.
