Robotics and Automation

Robotics and Automation is for automation techs and hobbyists. Learn PLCs, robotics and controls with practical skills.

Why you should join: Taught by a Tesla automation tech with a controls engineering degree, covering home and industrial automation, PLCs, FANUC robotics, troubleshooting and AI tools for automation work. Membership is $1 a month.

The one-liner

A practical robotics and PLC school without traditional programme overhead.

What they actually sell

Robotics and Automation is run by Jevon Pedersen. The headline pitch reads: "Learn robotics, PLCs, and industrial automation with practical labs and real skills - without the cost, fluff, or overhead of traditional programs." The public offer sits at $1 a month. Jevon Pedersen frames Robotics and Automation around controls, PLCs, FANUC and troubleshooting for hobbyists through industrial work. Inside sit 11 courses. The page does not spell out a money-back promise.

Who pays and why

Automation techs and hobbyists who want real controls skills. The frustration is expensive programmes full of fluff. They pay for PLC, robotics, FANUC and troubleshooting labs with home and industrial paths.

Where the members come from

The page links no outside channels, so most members probably find it through Skool's own discovery and word of mouth. That puts a lot of weight on the about page itself, which has to do the whole selling job. Jevon Pedersen's profile line reads: "Hi! I am an Automation Tech and Tesla! I have a 2 year degree in Robotics and Automation! Join my skool community, I'd love to see you there."

What's holding it back

At $1 a month the depth promise is huge. Members may wonder how far the labs go before an upsell.

Steal this

Teach industrial automation with practical labs at a price that removes the usual barrier.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any technical trade undercut by expensive schools. Weak where certification boards require formal hours.
